Approaches for managing emotions online
Adam draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills people can use right away. One approach teaches practical coping strategies to reduce reactivity and manage anger in the moment, using breathing, grounding, and action plans to change how someone responds to triggers. Another approach emphasizes behavioral skill building to address anxiety and addictions by creating new routines, practicing small changes, and planning responses to high-risk situations.Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. Adam partners with each person to identify goals, test techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. He treats the client as the expert on their life while offering structured tools and checkpoints to measure progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for interactive skill practice and role play, while phone sessions reduce bandwidth needs and can be used for check-ins. Live chat or messaging is useful for brief updates, coping reminders, and between-session support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel and help keep consistency when life gets busy.
