Evidence-Based Approaches, Made Accessible Online
Carley James Bruner draws from several structured, research-informed approaches that can translate well to online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, then practicing new skills that support steadier mood, reduced anxiety, and healthier coping. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) builds practical tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and communication, which can be especially helpful when stress feels intense or impulsive reactions get in the way of relationships.For clients impacted by trauma and abuse, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured method that helps people process distressing experiences in a new way, so the memories feel less overwhelming over time. These approaches can also support work related to addictions and relationship challenges by strengthening insight, coping strategies, and day-to-day follow-through.
Finding the right fit is part of the process. Carley works collaboratively with clients to choose methods that align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the pace and focus as therapy unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexible options, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to get support in a format that fits daily life.
