Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Tarrah Grady draws from several evidence-informed approaches to support clients in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people live in alignment with their values by learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward meaningful goals - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that works with distressing memories and associated beliefs to reduce their emotional impact and promote adaptive processing.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tarrah works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and adjusts techniques over time to fit what is most helpful for the individual.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other responsibilities. Video calls and phone sessions provide real-time, interactive conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging can support shorter check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to sustain consistent care and access support from licensed professionals when and how it fits a client's life.
