Integrating Evidence-Based Approaches with Online Care

Emily Hand incorporates several therapeutic approaches that translate well to remote work. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity, often used for trauma and abuse recovery. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and building flexible, values-driven actions to cope with painful thoughts and feelings, which can support work on anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it useful for anxiety, depression, sleep concerns, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Emily works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and together they determine which techniques or combination of approaches will be the best fit for the work ahead.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or ongoing text-based messaging - allowing therapy to fit into busy lives and different routines. Licensed professionals can deliver consistent care across these formats, helping people access support from home, maintain continuity during life changes, and tailor communication styles to what feels most helpful.
