Evidence-Based Trauma and Stress Care Delivered Online

Wendy Hunter uses evidence-based methods adapted for online work. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach that helps people process distressing memories and reduce the intensity of trauma-related reactions by guiding safe, present-focused processing. Trauma-focused cognitive behavior therapy (TF-CBT) combines talk-based techniques and skill-building to help individuals reframe unhelpful thoughts, learn coping skills, and address trauma-related symptoms in a step-by-step way.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Wendy collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and together they determine which techniques fit best. The work is paced to the individual and adjusted over time based on progress and feedback.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or caregiving responsibilities. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, schedule appointments around busy days, and access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations.
