Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Kara Levine integrates well-established approaches to address a range of concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress while teaching practical coping skills. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, supports processing distressing memories and trauma by combining focused recall with guided bilateral stimulation to lessen the emotional intensity of those memories. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, strengths-based style of conversation designed to resolve ambivalence and support meaningful behavior change by clarifying personal motivations and goals.Finding the right approach is part of therapy, and Kara works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the plan remains responsive to progress and changing circumstances.
Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling, allow continuity of care across life transitions, and make it easier to choose the communication format that feels most comfortable. These formats enable licensed professionals to deliver focused, goal-oriented work while accommodating differing lifestyles and access needs.
