Evidence-based techniques and remote care

Ann Patmore uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical ways to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. One strand of her work emphasizes skills-based strategies - practical tools and exercises designed to reduce stress, improve concentration, and support coping with anxiety and attention difficulties. These approaches can be helpful for clients dealing with ADHD traits, overwhelm, and problems with focus.

Another strand involves reflective, problem-focused dialogue that explores patterns in relationships, family dynamics, and life transitions. This work supports people facing parenting challenges, family conflicts, grief, or the aftermath of difficult experiences by helping them understand patterns and try new responses.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ann works collaboratively with each person to identify goals, test what helps, and adjust methods based on the client’s needs, preferences, and progress.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving duties, or mobility limits. These remote options make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from home while fitting sessions around work, family, and other commitments.
