Remote therapy options and clinical focus
Online sessions incorporate approaches rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Somatic Therapy alongside Trauma-Focused Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is presented in accessible terms to help people clarify personal values and notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then choose actions consistent with those values. Somatic Therapy involves attending to bodily sensations and patterns that link physical experience with emotions and behavior.
Trauma-Focused Therapy is used to address trauma and abuse-related concerns with attention to pacing and readiness. Together, these approaches can be combined to support processing of difficult memories, increase awareness of physiological responses, and translate insight into concrete steps between sessions. The therapist aims to collaborate with each person to determine which elements fit best for their situation.
Remote appointments are available via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing for synchronous and text-based exchanges depending on what a client prefers and the goals identified in initial conversations.
