How CBT and Trauma Work Translate to Online Sessions

Stacie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change the behaviors that keep problems going. CBT sessions often include setting concrete goals, practicing new skills, and checking progress between meetings. EMDR offers a way to address distressing memories by guiding attention while processing those memories, which can reduce their emotional intensity over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences, then suggest approaches to try. That plan can be adjusted as progress is tracked and needs change, so clients take an active role in choosing what feels most helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into different schedules. Video is useful for full sessions and exercises that use visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or during a short break. Live chat and text messaging are handy for brief check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing support between longer sessions.
