Online Delivery of Therapeutic Approaches

Shirin Roberts integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and EMDR into her work, adapting these approaches for online sessions to meet individual needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration; it helps clients explore their values, build self-esteem, and identify personal goals while the therapist provides nonjudgmental support.

Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is practical and skills-based, often used to manage stress, anxiety, depression, and patterns that interfere with everyday functioning.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach used to address distress tied to traumatic memories and overwhelming experiences by processing those memories in a structured way under the guidance of a trained therapist.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Shirin works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to engage in therapy from different locations and on schedules that suit them. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to deliver structured interventions, emotional support, and practical strategies while adapting session style to each client’s needs.
