Remote therapy and approaches

Aurilia offers online sessions that combine listening-focused support with practical skill work. Using a client-centered framework, she emphasizes collaboration and empathy so individuals can explore feelings, values, and personal goals at a pace that feels right for them. This approach helps establish a working relationship that centers the client’s perspective.

When appropriate to a client’s needs, she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress. CBT is presented in straightforward ways and often includes exercises and strategies to practice between sessions. For those processing painful memories or trauma-related material, she also uses EMDR as an option for memory-focused processing while maintaining a collaborative plan for pacing and readiness.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different communication preferences. Aurilia and the person seeking support decide together which formats and methods best fit the goals of therapy.
