Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more useful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship or work-related difficulties and focuses on practical skills and gradual changes.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, is a trauma-focused approach that helps reduce the emotional intensity of distressing memories by using guided processing techniques. It can be helpful for post-traumatic stress and lingering effects of past abuse or painful events.
Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings, which can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. It is commonly used for anxiety, stress, and coping with life transitions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Barbara works with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and will suggest or combine methods that fit each person’s situation. This partnership helps tailor therapy so it feels useful and manageable.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access care from different locations within the therapist's licensed area, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
