Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Alexandra Hershberger employs evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each client's needs. For trauma and abuse, she uses structured, research-informed methods that focus on reducing the impact of traumatic memories and improving day-to-day coping, helping clients manage symptoms and regain a sense of safety. For addictions and substance use concerns she applies approaches that emphasize motivation, relapse prevention, and practical strategies to support sustained change and healthier routines. She also works with sleep and mood-related problems using techniques that address sleep habits, emotional regulation, and behavioral patterns that contribute to insomnia and depression.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Dr. Hershberger collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She reviews options, adapts techniques as progress unfolds, and works together with each person to build a treatment plan that feels manageable and effective.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and for people with mobility or geographic limits. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent, meaningful care across distance while making it easier for clients to access therapy from home or during a busy week.
