Online support

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s goals and building a collaborative relationship. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through problems and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches simple exercises to reduce anxiety and lift mood. CBT is often used for stress, anxiety, and depression. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is used to work with traumatic memories by combining focused attention with guided bilateral stimulation; some people find it helpful for trauma-related symptoms.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. Paula will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and preferences, then recommend a mix of methods to try. The process is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face without traveling. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option and may be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between scheduled sessions. These formats make it easier to fit care into everyday life while using the therapist’s chosen approaches.
