Evidence-Based Therapy Options, Delivered Online
Anita Scarborough uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients work through concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, and relationship challenges in a structured, supportive way.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It can help clients notice unhelpful patterns, practice new coping skills, and build more balanced ways of responding to stressors day to day. Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT) adapts these tools for people impacted by trauma, supporting steadier emotional regulation while gently addressing trauma-related reactions. She also incorporates Solution Focused Therapy, which emphasizes strengths and practical next steps, helping clients identify what is already working and create clear, achievable goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Anita collaborates with clients to understand what they want to change, what has or has not helped before, and what feels most comfortable, then adjusts the work to match their needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This variety can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule while staying consistent with progress over time.
