Therapeutic Approaches for Online Trauma and Wellness Care
Kathleen brings together several evidence-informed approaches to help clients work toward recovery and growth. EMDR is used to help people process traumatic memories by guiding the brain to reprocess distressing experiences so they feel less disruptive. Hypnotherapy involves focused relaxation and guided imagery to address patterns such as anxiety, habit issues, or stress responses and to support positive behavioral change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical strategies for managing mood, anxiety, and day-to-day functioning.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Kathleen works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their history, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as treatment progresses to find the best match.
Online therapy makes these options more accessible by offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats provide flexibility for scheduling, reduce travel time, and allow clients to engage with licensed professionals and therapists from locations that work for them, supporting continuity of care and easier integration of therapy into daily life.
