How Carrie’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online CBT sessions often include identifying unhelpful thought patterns, trying small behavioral experiments, and practicing new skills between meetings to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms. EMDR helps people process distressing memories by combining focused attention with guided bilateral stimulation. In remote sessions, the therapist guides the process step by step to reduce the emotional charge of traumatic memories and make daily life easier to manage. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Carrie will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and preferences, and then recommend one or more methods to try. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize skills training, trauma processing, or short-term solution-focused work. Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and work more intensively, phone sessions require less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to choose a format that feels most comfortable.05Questions people ask
