Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Viola draws from client-centered therapy to create a collaborative, empathetic space where the client’s experiences and goals guide each session. This approach emphasizes listening, validation, and working at the client’s pace, which can be helpful for people facing life transitions, relationship struggles, or feelings of isolation.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps clients identify and adjust unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT can be effective for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with change by teaching concrete skills to reframe thinking and respond differently to challenges.
For trauma-related concerns, Viola may incorporate EMDR techniques when appropriate. EMDR focuses on processing distressing memories and the emotions tied to them, supporting recovery from trauma and abuse in a structured way.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Viola works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She and other licensed professionals can adjust methods as progress unfolds to ensure the approach remains helpful.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility to access care from different settings and schedules. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of support, try different session formats, and find what works best for ongoing progress with a therapist.
