How his approaches translate to online therapy

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process distressing memories and reactions in small, paced steps. It aims to reduce the hold that past events have on daily life and to build coping skills for triggers and flashbacks.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and to build new behaviors that reduce anxiety and low mood.

Mindfulness Therapy trains attention to the present moment and gentle awareness of thoughts and sensations. This can lower reactivity, improve sleep, and make stress feel more manageable.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most for symptoms and daily life.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine and to keep consistent momentum between meetings. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed or for sessions that do not require travel. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings will be scheduled and delivered.
