Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Hilda integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support people in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and creating a respectful space so individuals can explore their values and goals; it helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, uses practical, structured techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues.
For clients coping with trauma, Hilda also draws on EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - which is a targeted approach that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity. The therapist and client work together to determine whether EMDR or another method fits best, making the choice collaborative and tailored to the client’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility in how care is accessed. Video calls enable face-to-face connection, phone sessions can be an alternative when video is not possible, and live chat or text-based messaging provides convenient ways to maintain contact between sessions. These options help accommodate busy schedules, mobility or health limitations, and geographic constraints while supporting consistent therapeutic progress.
