Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Lisa Cooney uses several evidence-informed approaches to support her clients. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and places the client's goals at the center of the work - it helps with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and building self-awareness. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured method for processing traumatic memories and the distress that can follow them, often helping people reduce the intensity of painful past events. Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past relationships and unconscious patterns influence current feelings and behaviors - it can be especially useful for attachment issues, recurring relationship problems, and long-standing emotional patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Cooney collaborates with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as growth occurs. This collaborative stance helps clients feel seen and involved in their care.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic distance. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into daily life, and access licensed professionals from different locations.
