Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, empathetic environment where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers understanding and guidance. This approach helps people explore feelings, build self-awareness, and make choices that align with their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns and emphasizes practical skills and homework to reinforce progress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach used to help people process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity; it can be a valuable option for those coping with past trauma or persistent distress related to upsetting events.
Karen Winberry works collaboratively with clients to determine which approach or combination of approaches is the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they evaluate progress and adjust strategies as treatment unfolds, ensuring the plan stays aligned with the client's priorities.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with licensed professionals, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow clients to access care from familiar settings while still working closely with a therapist to build skills and address life challenges.
