Evidence-Based Therapy Approaches That Translate Well Online
David Covey, LMFT, integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients address concerns like anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem, and the effects of trauma.One approach he often promotes is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). EMDR is a structured method that helps people work through distressing memories and reduce the intensity of emotional and physical reactivity linked to past experiences, which can be especially helpful when trauma is contributing to anxiety or feeling on edge.
He also uses cognitive behavioral approaches, which focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new coping strategies. This style of work can support clients who want practical tools for managing stress, mood shifts, and everyday triggers.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. David works collaboratively with clients to understand what they are facing and what they want to change, then tailors the work to their needs, goals, and preferences as therapy unfolds.
