Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Support

Makenya Pringle uses a trauma-informed approach that acknowledges how past adverse experiences can shape current reactions and relationships. This method helps clients identify triggers, build safety and coping strategies, and work through the lasting effects of trauma in manageable steps. She also applies a culturally responsive framework that centers each person’s background and identity, adapting interventions to respect cultural values and the impact of prejudice and discrimination. In practice she emphasizes skill-building for coping and communication - concrete techniques to manage symptoms of depression, panic, workplace stress, and family conflict.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Makenya works with clients to clarify their goals, assess what feels most helpful, and adjust strategies over time so the treatment aligns with the client’s needs, preferences, and life circumstances.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, reduce travel time, and allow clients to access support from their own settings while working with licensed professionals and therapists who can tailor the work to each individual.
