Evidence-Based Therapy Approaches in an Online Format
Marcel Descheneaux, LICSW, uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help individuals make personal changes that align with the life they are seeking.One notable approach in his work is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). As an EMDR-trained therapist, he can use this structured method to help clients process distressing experiences and reduce how strongly those memories impact the present, which can be especially relevant for trauma-related concerns and post-traumatic stress.
He also draws from evidence-based therapy more broadly, focusing on practical, skills-oriented strategies that can support concerns like stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes while keeping sessions anchored in clear goals and measurable steps forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Marcel works collaboratively with clients to understand what they want to change, what feels most challenging right now, and what type of support fits their preferences, adjusting the work as needs and goals evolve.
Online therapy offers added flexibility, making it easier to get consistent support from Massachusetts through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can help clients choose the format that best matches their schedule, comfort level, and communication style.
