Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Anita Cohn



Anita commonly uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening without judgment and supporting clients to explore their own goals. This approach helps people gain clarity, build on strengths, and increase confidence when facing relationship, mood, or life-change issues.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy - a practical model that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and develop new coping skills. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns because it emphasizes skills that can be practiced between sessions.

For clients with a history of trauma, Anita incorporates EMDR when appropriate - a structured therapy that can reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and associated emotional distress, supporting recovery from past events.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Anita works collaboratively with each client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts treatment as progress unfolds to ensure a good fit.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allows therapy to fit into busy lives and different comfort levels. These options increase flexibility for scheduling, make it easier to maintain continuity of care during transitions, and provide multiple ways to communicate depending on what feels most helpful for the client.
