Evidence-based approaches and online care

Dr. Chusid uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients make practical changes. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and anger. Solution-focused ideas emphasize small, concrete steps and goals so people can notice progress quickly.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will collaborate to decide which techniques fit the person’s needs and goals. That may mean trying different tools and adjusting the plan as progress or challenges appear.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, avoid travel time, or check in during a work break. It also lets people work with licensed professionals from a distance while focusing on skills, routines, and strategies that carry into daily life.
