Approaches to Trauma and Change in Online Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, teaching concrete skills to manage anxiety, low mood and stress. It is oriented toward practical strategies that can improve day-to-day functioning and self-esteem.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach for processing distressing memories and reactions to past events; it supports people who are struggling with trauma or post-traumatic stress by working through painful memories in a paced way.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates specifically on the effects of trauma, helping clients understand how past experiences influence current feelings and relationships and developing tailored coping methods to reduce symptoms and restore a greater sense of stability.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Katherine collaborates with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals and preferences. She and the client review options together and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online work offers flexibility in how sessions are delivered - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage logistics and maintain continuity of care even when in-person visits are not possible.
