Using trauma-informed approaches in online therapy
Kristin uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR in ways that adapt well to online formats. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior and practicing small changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood. It is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, EMDR, helps people process distressing memories by pairing guided attention with bilateral stimulation; it is often used for trauma and post-traumatic stress when a person and therapist agree it fits their goals.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Kristin will talk with each person about their history, goals, and comfort with different methods and then recommend techniques to try. Treatment can shift over time based on what helps the person feel safer and more capable.
Online work offers practical benefits like flexible scheduling and easier access from different locations. Video calls recreate face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier when cameras are not wanted, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while working with licensed professionals.
