Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online work
Paige commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing in her practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. EMDR uses structured, bilateral stimulation alongside focused memory work to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas and client-centered principles to support values-based goals and to keep sessions guided by the client's experience. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work; the therapist and client will decide together which approaches match the client's needs, goals, and preferences in an ongoing way.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and processing. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer simpler check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These formats make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
