Online support options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Dr. Davis uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new thinking patterns that change mood and behavior. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns and focuses on practical exercises and homework.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address distress tied to traumatic memories. EMDR helps process vivid or disturbing memories so they feel less overwhelming and supports better day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods as work progresses. Together they pick techniques that match current needs.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video allows face-to-face interaction for skill practice, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain continuity during life transitions.
