Evidence-Based Techniques and Virtual Care

Jeannette Murphy draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are practical and tailored to each person's needs. One set of approaches focuses on patterns of thinking and behavior - helping people identify unhelpful thoughts, test new perspectives, and build skills that reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day functioning. Another emphasis is on emotional processing and relationship work - supporting clients to explore feelings, improve communication, and repair or strengthen intimate and social connections. These techniques are applied to concerns such as stress, grief, social anxiety, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jeannette works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, clarify goals, and decide which evidence-based strategies fit best with a person’s values and circumstances. This collaborative planning helps tailor sessions to what will be most helpful for each individual.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access consistent care. These formats offer flexibility around work, family, and mobility, and allow clients to receive support from licensed professionals in ways that suit their schedules and comfort levels.
