Integrating therapeutic approaches into online care

Amira King integrates several evidence-based approaches to tailor online therapy to each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and mood challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy centers on understanding relational patterns and early bonds to improve current relationships and address issues like abandonment and attachment wounds. EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact, often benefiting people with post-traumatic stress and complex trauma.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amira works with clients to explore their goals, preferences, and experiences, then adapts methods to fit what will be most helpful. She combines skills-based techniques and deeper processing work as needed to support recovery and growth.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to receive care from home or other convenient locations. These options can make it easier to maintain consistent sessions, fit therapy into busy schedules, and access licensed professionals who can guide the therapeutic process over time.
