Online sessions and therapeutic approaches
Emily offers remote care using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different communication preferences. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to the needs identified by each adult client, with attention to how symptoms show up in daily routines and relationships.
She frequently uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients notice and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical behavior strategies are offered to build emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance skills that can be practiced between sessions. For clients who need to process traumatic or intense memories, Emily integrates EMDR, which is applied in consultation with the client and adapted for the online setting when appropriate.
These approaches can be combined to match a client's goals and pace. Clients who prefer talking in real time or communicating via chat or text can discuss how each format will support their work together.
