In practice, evidence-based work means drawing from methods that are supported by research and focusing on skills and insights that can be applied in day-to-day life.

One common focus is building coping strategies for anxiety and high stress, including identifying patterns that intensify worry or panic and practicing new ways to respond when emotions feel overwhelming. Another focus is strengthening self-esteem and confidence by clarifying personal values, noticing unhelpful self-talk, and reinforcing strengths that may be overlooked during difficult seasons. For clients navigating change, therapy can also center on adjustment, decision-making, and creating a steady sense of direction when life feels uncertain.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shariffa "Nicole" Vaughn works collaboratively with clients to understand goals, preferences, and what has or has not been helpful in the past, then tailors sessions accordingly.
