How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Kersten uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. One common approach emphasizes learning coping skills and emotion regulation to reduce anxiety and manage stress. This involves identifying triggers, practicing short exercises, and building routines that help day-to-day functioning.Another approach centers on improving communication and relationship patterns. Sessions look at how people express needs and set boundaries, and then practice new ways of talking and responding to others to reduce conflict and isolation.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.
