Evidence-based approaches and making them fit online
Keaton practices evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical change. One common approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new, more helpful ways of thinking and behaving; this helps when anxiety or low mood get in the way of everyday life. Another approach centers on setting small, achievable goals and building momentum through consistent steps; this is useful for motivation, confidence, and coping with life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Keaton will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques feel most useful based on their needs, goals, and preferences. The plan can be adjusted as progress is made so the work stays relevant and realistic.
