Online support options
Applying trauma-informed and goal-focused approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy puts the client's goals and experience at the center of work. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and following what matters most to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills to change them. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused method used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity when appropriate.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dana will discuss options, explain what to expect from different methods, and collaborate with the client to choose an approach that fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow a more face-to-face experience when scheduling is tight. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and ongoing support easier between sessions. These formats provide flexibility so people can fit therapy into busy lives while using approaches like CBT or EMDR in an online setting.
