How evidence-based methods translate to online work

LaChelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people change patterns that feed anger and distress. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and then practicing new ways of responding. Acceptance-oriented work helps people notice difficult feelings without getting swept away and learn skills to move forward despite strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to test methods, see what helps, and adjust based on goals and preferences. That means trying practical strategies early and changing course if something isn’t useful.

Session format options are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between appointments. It can also allow sessions that focus on skill practice, planning, and quick accountability without needing extra travel time.
