How Tiffany blends evidence-based approaches online

Tiffany often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused therapy to guide work online. CBT helps people notice and shift patterns of thinking and behavior that increase anxiety or get in the way of goals. Trauma-focused therapy helps process difficult events and reduce their day-to-day impact, while teaching coping skills for triggers and stress.

She also leans on client-centered and mindfulness approaches to keep sessions grounded in each person's priorities. That means the therapist and client decide together which methods to try, adjusting based on how things are going. Finding the right mix is presented as a collaborative process focused on clear goals and small, practical steps.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It may also allow for options that do not require being on camera or that use shorter appointments when schedules are tight. Tiffany aims to adapt sessions to each person's needs, helping them use therapy in ways that match their routines and goals.
