Approaches for Online Trauma and Cognitive Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. In practical terms CBT offers tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching skills for problem solving and shifting negative thoughts.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that supports processing distressing memories. EMDR aims to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and the emotional reactions tied to them, which can be helpful for people coping with PTSD or past abuse.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and techniques for calming the mind and body. These practices can reduce reactivity to stress, improve emotional regulation, and support ongoing recovery.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Joann, as a licensed professional, collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan over time as progress is made.
Online therapy by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer remote care. These options make it easier to maintain consistent sessions, access support from home, and integrate therapeutic work into daily life while working with licensed therapists.
