Therapeutic approaches for remote healing

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and replace them with more flexible, practical ways of thinking. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and habits that interfere with daily life. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their hold on present emotions and behavior. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style that supports a person’s readiness to change by exploring ambivalence and strengthening intrinsic motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Hana works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods fit best with a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Clients are partners in shaping the work and choosing strategies that feel manageable and meaningful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or to continue work during life transitions. These options expand access to consistent support and allow therapists and clients to focus on skill building, processing, and problem solving in ways that suit each person’s routine and comfort level.
