Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with a Trauma-Informed Focus
Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client's perspective, creating a supportive environment where therapists follow the person's lead to build self-awareness and personal growth - it is especially helpful for individuals seeking to deepen self-understanding and strengthen relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical skills and exercises - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing traumatic experiences with strategies that recognize the impact of trauma on thoughts, emotions, and relationships - it supports recovery from abuse, post-traumatic stress, and other trauma-related concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Emily collaborates with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to tailor methods that fit each person's situation. That collaborative process helps determine whether a short-term, solution-focused plan or a longer-term trauma-informed path is most appropriate.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make treatment more accessible and flexible for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic constraints. Licensed professionals can use these modalities to maintain continuity of care, adapt pacing, and offer multiple ways for clients to connect based on what works best for them.
