Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical skills for coping and problem solving.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps clients and couples uncover and respond to underlying emotions that shape patterns in relationships. It supports greater emotional connection and improved communication when intimacy or relational conflicts are present.

Trauma-Focused Therapy attends directly to the effects of trauma, using methods that help individuals process traumatic memories and reduce their ongoing impact on daily functioning and relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Bunch works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and tailors therapy so techniques align with each person’s situation and pace.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access care from home, and continue consistent support through transitions and life changes.
