Online support

How EMDR, CBT, and DBT work online

Dr. Reyna draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and EMDR to tailor online work to each person's needs. CBT looks at unhelpful thoughts and habits and replaces them with practical skills that reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. DBT focuses on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication to help with intense emotions and relationship difficulties. EMDR is used to process memories tied to trauma and reduce their hold on daily life when that approach seems appropriate.

Choosing the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will ask about goals, what has helped before, and what feels doable right now. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made or needs change.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions work well for in-depth conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging can support quick check-ins, skill reminders, or shorter check-ins between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and day-to-day life.
