Online approaches for anxiety and trauma care
Heather often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. CBT aims to break cycles of worry and avoidance by teaching clear skills for changing behavior and mood.She also uses trauma-focused therapy and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing to address difficult memories and strong emotional reactions. Trauma-focused work centers on understanding how past events affect current feelings, while EMDR involves guided processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories.
Picking the right approach is part of the work. Heather will talk with each person about their history, goals, and comfort level and then help choose methods that fit. She adjusts plans as therapy progresses so the tools match changing needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and text or chat provide quick check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to try different formats to see what works best.
