Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Clients working online with Tara can expect a blend of practical, evidence-informed techniques tailored to their needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete skills for managing symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, and it can be helpful for intense mood swings, self-harm urges, and relationship challenges. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that works with distressing memories to reduce their emotional impact, often supporting recovery from past traumatic experiences.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tara works with each person to explore their goals, preferences, and symptoms and then recommends strategies that fit those needs, adjusting as progress unfolds so the plan remains aligned with the client’s priorities.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions may be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for people to maintain regular work with licensed professionals and therapists without travel, support continuity of care, and allow therapeutic work to continue from home or other convenient locations.
