Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Adrien commonly integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and EMDR to address a range of concerns. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting, collaborative relationship and supports clients in exploring values, identity, and life direction in a nonjudgmental way. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and mood concerns and offers practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is an approach often used for processing traumatic memories and reducing the intensity of trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work itself. Adrien collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may blend approaches over time to best support progress. This collaborative process helps ensure care aligns with what matters to the client.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue consistent work toward goals with licensed professionals and therapists from a distance.
