Remote care using evidence-informed techniques
Dr. Aaker provides online sessions by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. She adapts familiar therapeutic frameworks for remote work so conversations and skill practice can continue across distance. Appointments can address immediate stressors or longer term goals depending on each person’s needs.
She frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and to teach concrete coping strategies. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is offered to support values-based choices and to practice acceptance of difficult internal experiences while moving toward chosen goals. Trauma-Focused Therapy is applied when past traumatic events are central, with attention to pacing and stabilization alongside processing as appropriate.
Throughout online work she collaborates with each person to set priorities, select techniques that fit their situation, and monitor progress. Remote sessions are intended to be interactive and tailored, with communication options chosen to match the client’s preference and logistics.
