Online support
Approaches for online therapy and trauma work
Charles often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters and take small committed steps toward those values. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and choosing actions that align with personal goals.He also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice concrete skills for anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. CBT sessions tend to include experiments, skill practice, and homework to reinforce what is learned in session.
EMDR may be offered when trauma memories are a central issue, used alongside other methods to reduce the intensity of painful memories and improve daily functioning. These approaches are presented in plain terms so clients understand what each method involves.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That process can include trying different tools and adjusting the plan based on how well things are working.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to allow flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversational work, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, live chat supports quick check-ins, and text messaging is helpful for brief ongoing support between sessions.
