Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care
Gina Tillman integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and EMDR into her work, and each can translate well to online formats. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, allowing the therapist to follow the client's lead and support personal goals; it helps with building self-understanding and motivation for change. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to manage symptoms such as anxiety, depression, or addictive patterns. EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that uses structured processing to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and is often used for trauma-related symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Gina works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors strategies over time so that the chosen techniques fit the individual rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all model.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in that collaborative work. Video calls allow for face-to-face interaction, phone sessions provide an audio option, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit those who prefer written communication or need shorter, more frequent check-ins. These options make it easier to access consistent care while fitting therapy into a busy life.
