Therapeutic Approaches Online for Trauma and Recovery

Theresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and skill-based, often helping with anxiety, depression, stress, and everyday coping challenges.

She also draws on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to support processing of traumatic memories and distressing experiences. EMDR works by pairing focused memory work with guided bilateral stimulation to reduce the intensity of painful memories and associated reactions.

Somatic Therapy is another approach Theresa incorporates when body-based symptoms of stress or trauma are present. This work pays attention to bodily sensations and teaches gentle techniques to help regulate physical responses that can accompany emotional pain.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic process - Theresa collaborates with each client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She and the client review progress and adjust the plan as needed.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and access from different locations. These options make it easier for people to attend sessions consistently and to integrate therapeutic work into everyday life while working with licensed professionals and therapists trained in these approaches.
