Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Karen McCarty draws from several evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then practicing practical skills to respond differently. It is often used for concerns like stress, anxiety, and depression, especially when daily coping feels harder than it used to.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach that helps people process difficult experiences in a guided way. It is commonly used when trauma and abuse or post-traumatic stress are affecting the present, and it can support clients who feel triggered, on edge, or stuck in painful reminders.
Solution-Focused Therapy keeps sessions oriented toward goals, strengths, and small, achievable steps. It can be especially helpful when clients want forward momentum with challenges like midlife transitions, relationship changes, or building self-love and healthier body image.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Karen collaborates with clients to choose a pace and style that fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting along the way.
Online therapy also offers flexibility. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, or use live chat and text-based messaging to stay connected between sessions and fit support into real life.
