Therapeutic Approaches for Online Trauma and Stress Care
Kimberley Sterling uses several targeted approaches that translate well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors - it is often used to address anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical skills for coping and problem solving. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing the effects of traumatic experiences, helping clients reduce symptoms and regain a sense of safety and control in daily life. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured method that assists people in reprocessing distressing memories to lessen their emotional impact and improve functioning.Selecting the right approach is a collaborative process. Kimberley works with clients to evaluate needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors the plan over time so the therapy fits the individual. Clients are involved in decisions about pace, techniques, and which methods feel most helpful.
Online sessions - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for scheduling and for how people prefer to communicate. These options make it easier to access therapy from home or during busy weeks, allow for ongoing support between live sessions, and enable therapists to share tools and resources in ways that fit each clientâs routine.
