Evidence-Based Support, Made Accessible Online
Dr Peter Sorman uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients address concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma-related experiences, and difficulties with attention, concentration, and memory. Evidence-based work draws from methods that have been studied and refined over time, with a focus on practical skills and measurable progress toward personal goals.For anxiety and stress, these approaches often emphasize identifying patterns that keep worry going and practicing new ways to respond in the moment, which can be especially helpful for panic symptoms and day-to-day overwhelm. When trauma or abuse has shaped how someone feels and reacts, evidence-based therapy can support steadier coping, improved self-understanding, and a clearer sense of safety in relationships and routines. For focus-related concerns, sessions may include strategies to strengthen organization, follow-through, and confidence when attention and memory feel unreliable.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr Sorman collaborates with clients to clarify what they want from therapy and to choose techniques that fit their needs, goals, and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This format can make it easier to stay consistent, get support between sessions, and access care from home or while traveling.
