Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care with Charesa Alphin
Charesa Alphin draws on several well-established approaches to tailor therapy to each person's needs. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respect, empathy, and collaboration so clients can explore their experiences and values at their own pace - it is often helpful for improving self-esteem, relationship concerns, and general emotional support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation skills. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity, making it useful for post-traumatic stress and trauma recovery.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Charesa works collaboratively with clients to consider their goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, adjusting the plan as needed so therapy fits each person's life and progress.
