Online approaches for trauma and mood support
Rebecca regularly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR as part of her remote practice. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, and workplace stress. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and reduce the intensity of trauma-related symptoms through structured bilateral stimulation and guided recall.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each client to understand their goals, history, and preferences, and will recommend or combine methods that best fit the presenting concerns. This shared decision-making helps tailor treatment plans and adjust techniques over time as progress is made.
Online therapy with Rebecca is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and receive timely support between appointments when needed.
