Trauma-Informed Approaches That Translate Well Online
Kelsey Hofer draws from several evidence-informed approaches that can be adapted to online therapy based on what a client is facing and how they prefer to work. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps clients understand how overwhelming experiences can continue to affect the present, and it supports steadier coping through grounding skills, pacing, and making sense of triggers in a manageable way.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It can be useful for concerns like anxiety, depression, and stress by helping clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice more supportive ways of responding. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore their experiences and values while moving at a pace that feels right.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kelsey works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, check what feels helpful, and adjust strategies over time so therapy fits the client’s needs, preferences, and day-to-day reality.
Online therapy offers flexible options, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of formats can make it easier to stay consistent, get support between sessions, and choose the level of structure and real-time interaction that works best.
