Remote therapy options and approaches
Kamay offers remote sessions that incorporate evidence-informed methods tailored to a person’s goals. She emphasizes collaborative planning and can adapt techniques to suit individual needs. Two of the approaches she commonly uses are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy addresses patterns of thinking and behavior through structured conversation and practical exercises. EMDR involves a phased process to work with memories and related symptoms while the clinician guides the protocol.
In addition to those, Kamay uses elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when appropriate, which focus on values-based action and emotion regulation skills. These approaches are presented in ways meant to match a person’s pace and preferences. Remote appointments are available by video calls, by phone, and through live chat or text-based messaging, providing multiple ways to connect depending on what fits best for the therapeutic work.
