How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Yamokoski commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy. CBT involves identifying and testing thoughts and behaviors that feed anger and anxiety, and practicing new, smaller skills between sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing memories and reactions tied to specific events and reducing their hold on current feelings and behavior.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She reviews symptoms, personal goals, and preferences with each person and recommends time-limited options when appropriate. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to prioritize and when to reassess progress.
Confirm current session formats before booking, since the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Therapists generally use structured exercises, guided practice, and clear homework just as they would in person, helping people apply what they learn to everyday situations.
