EMDR and Collaborative Online Care

Christy integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and evidence-informed talk therapies into her online practice. EMDR is a structured approach that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact through guided bilateral stimulation alongside focused recall; it is often used for trauma-related symptoms and intense emotional reactions. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to manage anxiety, mood, and daily stressors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christy works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts pacing and techniques so therapy feels manageable and relevant, inviting client input at every step.

Online therapy with Christy offers flexibility in how people meet - via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit treatment into busy schedules or different time zones. These options allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, ongoing support and make it simpler for clients to access care from home or while traveling.
