How CBT and EMDR Translate to Online Care

Naftoli draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in his online practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to manage symptoms and day-to-day challenges; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with motivation or self-esteem. EMDR involves structured processing of distressing memories and associated emotions through guided techniques that can reduce the intensity of traumatic responses, making it a commonly used approach for trauma and abuse-related difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Naftoli works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He aims to explain options clearly and adapt interventions as therapy progresses so the client and therapist make decisions together.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility limitations. These formats make it easier to access therapy from home or other convenient locations, support consistent scheduling, and allow therapists and clients to focus on practical tools and emotional processing in ways that fit the client’s life.
