Approaches that guide online work

Dr. Anastasio uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide his work. He emphasizes approaches that help people process grief and loss through structured conversation and gradual exposure to difficult memories, which can reduce the hold of painful events. He also uses practical, problem-focused methods that help address low self-esteem and depression by identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to build confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He treats the choice of methods as collaborative, adjusting techniques to match a person’s goals, comfort level, and life circumstances. Clients and therapist check in regularly to see what is helping and what should change.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy week. Online work can make follow-up shorter and more frequent check-ins possible, which helps maintain progress between longer in-person visits if those are used.
