Approaches for online care and therapeutic work

Carrie Ryberg commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness-based strategies to support change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical coping skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured method for processing distressing memories and trauma so they feel less disruptive in daily life. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance, teaching techniques that can ease overwhelm and improve emotional regulation.

Determining the right approach is a collaborative process. Carrie works with clients to consider their goals, history, and preferences, adapting techniques so treatment fits the individual rather than forcing a single method. This collaborative assessment helps guide which tools will be most useful and when to combine approaches.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity during transitions, and access therapeutic support from familiar surroundings. Many clients find that the variety of formats allows for a personalized rhythm of care that supports steady progress.
