How evidence-based techniques work online

Dr. Farmer uses clear, practical methods drawn from evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage strong emotions and change habits. One common approach focuses on skill-building for emotion regulation and panic management, teaching breathing and grounding exercises alongside behavioral steps to reduce panic attacks and intense anxiety. Another approach is strengths-based coaching that helps people clarify values and life purpose, set achievable goals, and practice new behaviors between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He discusses options with each person and tailors methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process helps pick techniques that fit someone’s daily life and learning style rather than forcing a single method.

Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow a fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat works well for quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief reflections and ongoing coaching-style prompts. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to choose the format that helps most with consistent progress.
