Approaches you can use in online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on the person's priorities and preferences, with the therapist following the person's lead to set goals and pace. It helps when someone wants an accepting, collaborative space to sort through life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It offers practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress.
EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that aims to reduce the intensity of distressing memories through structured processing. It is commonly used when past events keep causing strong reactions in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work together with the person to decide which methods to try based on needs, goals, and what feels most helpful. That choice can change as progress is made.
