Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of responding, which can help with anxiety, mood concerns, panic, and stress-related problems. Somatic Therapy pays attention to bodily sensations and the ways stress or trauma can be stored in the body. It uses gentle awareness and movement-based practices to support regulation and integration, which can be helpful for trauma, anxiety, and chronic stress. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental attention to experience - practices that support emotion regulation, reduce reactivity, and enhance self-compassion.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Nora will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adjusting methods over time to find the best fit for progress and comfort.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins or ongoing support can happen through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from a range of locations.
