Evidence-based approaches and online care

Dr. Humbles uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional recovery. One approach targets stress and anxiety by teaching breathing, grounding, and problem-solving skills to reduce day-to-day overwhelm and improve sleep. Another approach concentrates on relationship and communication skills, helping people express needs, set boundaries, and repair trust after conflict or separation.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Chat and messaging offer flexible ways to stay connected between sessions or to share brief updates. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel.
