Therapeutic approaches and online care
Lauren MacPherson uses approaches that are well suited to online work and to the concerns she treats. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, helping people explore their values and build confidence while the therapist follows the client s lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is an approach often used for trauma that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lauren works collaboratively to determine which methods best match a person s goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the treatment plan fits the client rather than expecting the client to fit a single method.
Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to schedule sessions around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities. For many people, these formats increase access to licensed professionals and allow consistent, ongoing work on issues like trauma recovery, anxiety, and life transitions without the need for travel.
