How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and reactions; online sessions use conversation and reflective exercises to help people notice patterns and try new ways of relating. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; it can be used in video or phone sessions to set goals and practice new routines. EMDR is a trauma-oriented approach that helps process distressing memories; parts of EMDR-informed work can be discussed and prepared for during remote sessions before any in-person or specialized steps if needed.Carrie treats the choice of approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and what feels comfortable. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversational work. Phone sessions are useful when lower bandwidth or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, homework prompts, or shorter emotional support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and daily life while keeping the focus on steady progress.
