Remote EMDR and CBT for Trauma and Stress
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a practical, goal-oriented approach that helps people recognize patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, and mood concerns, and then develop skills to change those patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, sleep problems, and many everyday life challenges.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a structured therapy used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and the distress they cause. It involves targeted processing of upsetting memories and can be helpful for people coping with post-traumatic stress and other trauma-related symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Cipriano works collaboratively with each person to identify methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He draws on clinical experience to tailor CBT, EMDR, or combinations of approaches based on how a person responds and what they hope to achieve.
Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexible scheduling and easier access to care. Work with Dr. Cipriano can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to engage in therapy from home, while traveling, or around work and family commitments. This variety of options supports continuity of care and makes it easier to maintain progress over time.
