Approaches to trauma and care through online therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges by teaching practical skills and coping strategies.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that supports processing distressing memories and their emotional impact. EMDR is often applied when trauma or painful memories interfere with daily life and emotional well-being.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding how traumatic experiences affect thoughts, feelings, and relationships, and works toward building safety, regulation, and recovery from those impacts.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Sharon will collaborate with each person to explore which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit sessions around work, caring duties, and other commitments. These options increase accessibility for people who prefer remote care or who need more adaptable scheduling, while allowing therapists and licensed professionals to deliver consistent, focused support.
