CBT and Trauma-Focused Care Delivered Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a structured approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms by teaching practical skills to manage distress and improve daily functioning.

Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on processing traumatic memories and reducing their ongoing impact. Techniques such as Cognitive Processing Therapy and Prolonged Exposure are used to help people make sense of traumatic experiences, reduce avoidance, and regain a sense of control after events like assault, accidents, or service-related trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Cynthia Yamokoski works collaboratively with clients to discuss options, weigh potential benefits, and tailor interventions to individual needs, goals, and preferences so that care fits each person’s situation.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions may occur via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or when in-person visits are not possible. These options allow licensed professionals to deliver evidence-based treatments with greater accessibility and continuity of care.
