Practical approaches and flexible online care

Dr. Immergluck uses evidence-based techniques that focus on real-life change. One core approach emphasizes skill building for managing anxiety and stress, teaching simple tools to lower distress and improve daily functioning. Another common method concentrates on addiction and coping strategies, helping people recognize triggers and develop alternative responses to cravings and urges.

She treats the choice of method as a collaborative process. Early sessions are used to learn what matters to the client and to try different techniques until a good fit is found. The therapist and client set goals together and adjust methods based on progress and preference.

Online delivery offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let people meet face to face from home, while phone sessions provide a lower-tech option. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins and support between meetings. These formats make it easier to keep continuity of care and to practice new skills when life gets hectic.
