04Online support
How CBT and EMDR Can Work Online
Kristin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often include simple exercises, homework, and step-by-step plans to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and tackle problems like social fear or low self-esteem.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address distressing memories and trauma symptoms. EMDR involves guided processing of upsetting memories so they feel less intense and can reduce symptoms like flashbacks or strong emotional reactions.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Kristin will discuss options, explain what each method involves, and work with the person to select what fits their needs, goals, and comfort level. This collaborative process can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for in-depth work and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can support quick check-ins or brief coping guidance. These formats help people fit therapy into their routines and stay connected between meetings.
