Therapeutic Approaches and Virtual Care
Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the individual's own goals and pace, with the therapist offering empathy and support to help people explore values, strengthen self-awareness, and build confidence to address life challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, providing practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and develop healthier coping patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity through structured, guided sessions.
