Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care and Trauma Recovery
Nicole Ernst integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused techniques to help clients address unhelpful thoughts and the lingering effects of traumatic experiences. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to symptoms like anxiety or depression, offering concrete tools for everyday coping. Trauma-focused therapy targets the specific impact of traumatic events, working to process painful memories and reduce their ongoing influence on mood and functioning.
She also incorporates mindfulness therapy, which teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help manage stress, increase emotional awareness, and improve moment-to-moment coping. Together these approaches are used in a collaborative way - Nicole works with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make these approaches more accessible and flexible for people with busy schedules or limited mobility. These formats allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity of care, adapt session styles, and find practical ways to practice skills between meetings.
