How evidence-based techniques translate to online work
Gage Herrington uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide his work. One commonly used approach focuses on managing mood symptoms and stabilizing daily routines; it teaches practical skills for tracking mood, recognizing patterns, and responding to early warning signs. Another approach centers on trauma-informed care, which helps people process difficult events at a pace that feels manageable while building coping skills for intense emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will choose or adapt methods so sessions match the client’s needs and pace.
