Approaches you can use online
Many clients benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy because it focuses on how thoughts and actions affect feelings. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depression.EMDR is a method used to process distressing memories and reduce their hold on daily life. It often involves focused attention on specific memories while working through them with a therapist to lessen intense reactions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lindsey will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a quieter option when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can work for brief check-ins or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and keep work on coping skills between full sessions.
