Online Approaches for Trauma-Informed and Collaborative Care
Pyol integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR into online sessions to address symptoms of anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to improve mood and daily functioning. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), in which Pyol is certified in the basic protocol, supports processing of past distressing memories to reduce their emotional intensity and related symptoms. Motivational Interviewing offers a collaborative way to explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change when clients face difficult decisions or life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Pyol works together with clients to tailor methods to each person’s goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for clients with diverse schedules, mobility needs, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to access consistent care, maintain continuity during life changes, and use approaches like CBT and EMDR in ways that suit each person’s comfort and pace.
