Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care



Kelly Owens draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and EMDR to support clients in online sessions. Client-centered therapy centers on the client’s own experience and aims to build a trusting, empathetic relationship that helps people explore feelings, improve self-understanding, and make choices that reflect their values. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, stress, and everyday difficulties. EMDR is a trauma-informed approach that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity, often used for complex trauma and abuse.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kelly collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress unfolds. This collaborative approach helps ensure therapy feels relevant and workable for daily life.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals without travel, while preserving the core elements of effective therapeutic work.
