She often brings breathing exercises and simple movement into sessions to help regulate strong emotions. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps toward clearer thinking and healthier routines. Her background includes work in crisis counseling, community-based programs, and group therapy.

Online support

How EMDR, CBT, and Mindfulness work online

Philicia often combines EMDR with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to address trauma, anxiety, and mood concerns. EMDR focuses on processing distressing memories so they feel less charged, which can reduce the emotional reaction tied to past events. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thinking and behavior patterns and helps people try new responses to old problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that help manage stress and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of therapy. Philicia treats this as a collaborative process and will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and pace. She adapts techniques over time based on what is helpful and what isn’t.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video allows face-to-face interaction for guided interventions, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging offers brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options help fit therapy into work, travel, or caregiving schedules while keeping continuity of care with licensed professionals.
