Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care



Ray uses evidence-informed, skills-focused work that helps people manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical tools for emotional regulation, problem solving, and day-to-day coping. These approaches focus on building concrete strategies clients can use between sessions to reduce distress and improve functioning.

He also offers trauma-informed therapeutic work that helps people process past harm and reduce its ongoing impact. This approach emphasizes pacing, safety, and helping clients make sense of traumatic experiences while developing ways to manage triggers and intrusive memories.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Ray treats the selection of methods as collaborative. He will work with each person to identify goals, preferences, and practical needs, then adapt evidence-based techniques to fit the client’s situation.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These remote formats make it easier to access consistent support from registered professionals and therapists, whether someone needs brief check-ins, ongoing weekly sessions, or a blend of live and messaging contact.
