CBT and EMDR in an Accessible Online Format

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and learn practical strategies to shift them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and difficulties with everyday coping.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a structured approach that supports processing of distressing memories and trauma; sessions focus on reducing the intensity of traumatic reactions and helping people integrate difficult experiences in a way that reduces their hold on daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Xochitl works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She and the client explore options together and adapt techniques as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate schedules and varying comfort levels with remote care. Licensed professionals can use these formats to provide consistent support, making it easier for people to access help from home, during work breaks, or while managing caregiving responsibilities.
