Therapy approaches that translate to online work
Dr. Thompson lists several approaches she uses in her practice. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's needs and goals, with the therapist following the client's lead and offering empathy and understanding to support change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce stress and anxiety. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used to process painful or traumatic memories through structured sets of attention and reflection to lessen their emotional hold.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She aims to collaborate with each person to decide which method or combination will best match their concerns, goals, and comfort level. That process can include trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting as needed.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, childcare, or travel. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed, and options like audio-only or video can help people choose what works best for focus and bandwidth. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and tools so therapy feels relevant and practical for everyday life.
