Online support
Approaches and online care that fit your life
Thomas blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR with narrative approaches to address both current struggles and past events. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with practical strategies, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. EMDR involves structured processing of distressing memories and reactions to reduce their intensity; it is used when past events continue to cause symptoms. Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps reframe those stories to support change.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that seem to fit, and adjust the plan as needed. People are encouraged to share what feels helpful so the work can be tailored to their needs and pace.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit daily life. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These formats offer flexibility to fit appointments around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping therapy consistent.
