How CBT and EMDR work in online therapy
Kristin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thoughts and behaviors that increase stress or anger. CBT sessions teach specific skills like tracking triggers, trying new responses, and practicing small behavior changes that can reduce symptoms over time.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, for people carrying strong traumatic memories. EMDR sessions aim to help the brain process distressing memories so they become less reactive and easier to think about without intense emotion.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Kristin will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then adjust methods as progress is made. The plan can change if something isn’t working or if new issues come up.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video lets you use visual cues and longer conversations, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing touchpoints between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
