Therapeutic Approaches for Online Healing and Growth

Karen uses client-centered therapy to build a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship that prioritizes the client's perspective and goals - this approach helps with motivation, self-esteem, and navigating life changes by focusing on personal strengths and collaboration. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and shift thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, stress, and mood concerns - CBT offers practical tools for coping and problem solving. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, commonly called EMDR, is an approach often used for processing traumatic memories and reducing the ongoing emotional impact of past hurts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Karen works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds to find the best fit.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access consistent care from everyday settings. These options allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity, fit sessions into busy schedules, and choose communication styles that feel most comfortable for the work ahead.
