Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Shardae integrates evidence-informed approaches to address trauma, relationship patterns, and everyday struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current needs and behaviors and can be helpful for people working through abandonment, attachment issues, or family-related concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to build practical coping skills. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) offers a structured method for processing traumatic memories and related symptoms, which can be particularly useful for those with a history of trauma or PTSD.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shardae will work with each person to consider their goals, preferences, and life circumstances and will adapt methods over time so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single technique.
Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility in how care is delivered - whether by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing people to engage in therapy from familiar settings and to choose the format that best supports their schedule and comfort.
