Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Stephanie Harnish integrates several evidence-informed approaches into online work to address trauma, mood, and stress-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to lead the pace of change while feeling understood and respected. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used when processing traumatic memories; it combines structured processing with therapist-supported techniques to reduce the emotional intensity of distressing memories and improve daily functioning.Determining the right approach is a collaborative process. Stephanie works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time so the plan fits the individual rather than the other way around. This collaborative stance helps ensure that therapy remains relevant and effective as circumstances change.
Online sessions make these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options offer scheduling flexibility and allow therapy to fit into busy lives, while maintaining the same focus on therapeutic connection and skill-building that in-person care provides.
