Trauma-Informed and Evidence-Based Care Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used to address anxiety, depression, mood and panic symptoms, and patterns that contribute to stress and interpersonal difficulties.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, is a structured approach used to process and reduce the impact of traumatic memories and related symptoms. As a certified EMDR therapist and consultant, she applies this method for clients dealing with trauma, post-traumatic stress, and related emotional pain.

Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on understanding how traumatic experiences affect emotions, relationships, and daily functioning, and it uses targeted strategies to promote healing and resilience for those coping with abuse, combat-related stress, or disaster-related trauma.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor techniques or combine methods to best support progress.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules, to access support from home, or to continue work even when in-person visits are difficult. These options help increase accessibility and allow therapists and clients to maintain momentum between sessions.
