Therapeutic approaches suited to online work
Pauline integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and EMDR into her practice to address relational patterns, unhelpful thinking, and trauma-related symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationships shape current connections and helps people build more secure ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a practical, skills-oriented approach that explores the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to improve daily functioning. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that supports processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional impact, which can be helpful for survivors of abuse and other traumatic events.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Pauline works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, adapting methods over time so the work fits each person's unique situation.
Online sessions allow this collaborative process to happen through flexible formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so therapy can fit into different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access support from familiar environments while working toward meaningful change.
