Integrating Evidence-Based Approaches in Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. It is practical and skill-focused, useful for people seeking clearer tools to manage mood and reactions.
Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of difficult emotions, which can ease rumination, improve emotional regulation, and support recovery from trauma and compassion fatigue. It pairs well with CBT when emotion-focused strategies are needed.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change - often applied in addiction and behavior-change work. It emphasizes the client's own values and readiness to move forward.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Emily works collaboratively to assess each person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques over time so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.
Online therapy offers flexible options including video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around life demands, access care from home, and maintain continuity of support during transitions. Licensed professionals can use these modalities to provide consistent, goal-focused care that meets clients where they are.
