How her evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Dr. Forte-Perry uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and building skills. One common approach she describes involves structured work on thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. This method helps people break down problems into manageable steps and practice new responses outside sessions.Another approach she relies on emphasizes coping skills and emotion regulation. This involves teaching concrete strategies for managing stress, improving mood, and handling difficult parenting or career moments. These techniques are practical and aimed at producing visible changes in everyday routines.
Choosing the right approach is part of the early work. She collaborates with clients to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide which techniques to use and how to pace sessions.
