Evidence-Based Techniques for Online Care

Paige Smith uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on the issues she treats most often. One approach emphasizes skills-based work to manage stress and anxiety, teaching practical tools for calming the body, reframing unhelpful thoughts, and improving day-to-day coping. Another approach is trauma-informed work that helps clients process difficult experiences at a pace that feels safe, with attention to emotional regulation and rebuilding a sense of control. She also incorporates attachment-focused and self-esteem work to address relational patterns, communication difficulties, and core beliefs that affect confidence and relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Paige partners with each client to explore which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress and priorities evolve. Clients are invited to provide feedback so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Paige is offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, reduce travel time, and make it easier to access consistent support while balancing other life commitments.
