How her approaches translate to online care
Nanette uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, and rebuilding confidence after difficult relationships.She also incorporates mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. These exercises can reduce reactivity and help people feel steadier during stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nanette will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and what feels comfortable. She checks in and adjusts strategies based on progress and feedback.
