Remote therapy approaches and session formats

Elisha offers online sessions that draw on Trauma-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with a client-centered stance. Trauma-Focused Therapy is described in approachable terms as a way to address distress related to traumatic events while attending to safety and pacing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies and skill building.



Her client-centered orientation means the work is guided by each person's concerns and priorities, and motivational interviewing techniques may be used to support readiness for change. Solution-Focused elements can help set short-term goals and track progress.



Remote sessions can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to choose the format that feels most manageable. Those who prefer either structured skill practice or a more exploratory, conversational style may find the mix of approaches compatible with their needs.
