Blending EMDR and Talk Therapies for Online Care
Deanna Bibby uses a mix of proven therapeutic approaches to meet a range of needs. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps people process distressing memories by using structured protocols that can reduce the intensity of past trauma symptoms and emotional reactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical coping strategies. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of relating formed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current communication, trust, and intimacy, making it helpful for relationship difficulties and attachment concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Deanna collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and pace, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps tailor interventions to what feels most effective and manageable.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility for varied schedules and life demands. Video calls and phone sessions allow for real-time conversation and deeper connection, while live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter, convenient ways to check in and maintain continuity between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and integrated into daily life.
