Evidence-based approaches and online care
Dr. Dousi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear steps and measurable progress. One approach emphasizes practical problem solving and skill-building to reduce anxiety and manage stress, teaching tools people can use between sessions. Another approach centers on improving communication and resolving relational conflict by identifying patterns and practicing new ways of interacting.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying a focused skill for a few sessions or combining methods over a longer period to address both emotional and relational concerns.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists adapt sessions to suit telephone or video styles when those formats are offered, helping people apply therapeutic skills in everyday settings without promising a particular format.
