How attachment, CBT, and EMDR translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and trust. It helps people notice patterns in how they connect with others and build steadier ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors. Sessions teach practical skills to reduce worry, shift unhelpful thinking, and try different behaviors. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-informed approach that can help process distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge when relevant to a person's goals.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, history, and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. Plans are adjusted as progress is tracked so the work stays focused on what helps most.
Online therapy with Carrie uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video offers face-to-face conversation for skills practice and deeper dialogue. Phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, written skills coaching, and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and try approaches that match the client's comfort and routine.
