Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Margaret Elkins uses several evidence-informed approaches suited to different concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, which can be helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges. EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - is a trauma-focused method trained to help people process distressing memories and reduce their ongoing emotional charge.Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Margaret works with each person to explore symptoms, goals, and preferences, and to tailor methods that fit the individual's needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, ongoing care without requiring travel, making it easier to maintain progress while balancing work, family, or other commitments.
