Remote care using practical, skills-based work
Starla adapts the practical, evidence-based strategies she uses in person to remote formats so people can access tools and support from wherever they are. She emphasizes skills-building and coping strategies that can be practiced between sessions. These include step-by-step approaches to managing stress and anxiety and structured techniques for improving communication and relationship patterns. Her work is collaborative: she and the person identify goals, test approaches, and adjust plans based on what is helpful. That collaborative problem-solving pairs well with short-term skills work as well as support through longer transitions such as caregiving or chronic illness. Online sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different preferences and needs. Those options make it possible to continue therapeutic work while juggling work, family, or health-related demands.
