Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Trauma and Stress Care

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) combines practical coping skills with trauma processing to reduce symptoms and build healthier responses to stress. It often involves teaching grounding and emotional regulation alongside gentle work on trauma-related memories, making it useful for anxiety, trauma, and parenting-related difficulties. EMDR training involves guided processing of distressing memories using bilateral stimulation techniques to help reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and the emotions attached to them; it is commonly used for trauma and abuse-related symptoms. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes identifying strengths and small, concrete steps toward change; it helps clients clarify goals, build on what already works, and accelerate progress on specific problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kendrick works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity when in-person visits are difficult. These options allow therapists and clients to stay connected, sustain momentum between sessions, and tailor communication styles to individual comfort and accessibility needs.
