She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person's situation. Therapy sessions are collaborative.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care
Dr. Bratton uses well-established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques adapted to each client. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and then practicing alternative ways of responding; this helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Another approach emphasizes building skills to manage intense emotions and improve close relationships, which can be useful for intimacy issues and mood regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each client to clarify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. The process is practical and paced to the person's needs and preferences.
Online therapy is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow more visual connection for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit quick updates, brief reflections, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and can fit into busy family and work routines.
