Online Therapeutic Approaches and Care

Drew uses several evidence-informed approaches tailored to the needs of each person she sees. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and fostering a trusting relationship so clients can explore their values, feelings, and goals; it is often helpful for improving self-esteem, motivation, and communication. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is commonly used for anxiety, depression, panic, and social fears. Drew is also trained in EMDR - eye movement desensitization and reprocessing - a structured approach for processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional intensity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Drew partners with clients to understand their needs, preferences, and goals and will recommend or combine methods that fit each person’s situation. Together they monitor progress and adjust the plan as needed.

Online sessions make it possible to access care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options can reduce travel time, make it easier to maintain consistency, and allow clients to engage in therapy from settings that feel most manageable to them.
