Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and supporting the client's own insight and strengths - it helps people who want a collaborative space to explore values, identity, and relationship patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to build practical coping skills. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity, often used for clients recovering from abuse or other traumatic events.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Damon, as a licensed professional, works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access consistent support from a therapist without travel, helping people engage in treatment in ways that suit their daily routines.
