Evidence-Based Approaches Delivered Remotely



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying the thoughts and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress and then practicing concrete strategies to change them. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, panic, and many everyday problems where learning new coping skills can make a measurable difference.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and integrating distressing memories and reactions that follow traumatic events. This approach aims to reduce symptoms such as hyperarousal, intrusive memories, and avoidance, and to rebuild a sense of safety and agency after trauma.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Licensed professionals, including Dr. Thompson, will work with individuals to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and adapt methods as the therapeutic relationship develops. The therapist and client decide together what feels most helpful and make adjustments over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video or phone, and options for live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into busy lives or long-distance arrangements. These formats can increase access to consistent support, allow for more frequent check-ins when needed, and help maintain therapeutic momentum across changes in location or schedule.
