She helps people make sense of their reactions and choose actions that match their values. The process moves at a pace set by the client.
How trauma approaches and skills work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can reduce the power of worrying and support life changes by focusing on meaningful goals.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. It is useful for people who struggle with abandonment, trust, and connection issues, helping them try new ways of relating.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to process distressing memories so they cause less overwhelm. It is commonly used for trauma and post-traumatic stress when memories keep returning and affecting daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, history, and goals. Together they choose methods that fit the person’s needs and comfort, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and exercises. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates, practice skills, or check in between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work when travel or time constraints arise.
