CBT and Trauma-Focused Care in Flexible Online Sessions

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior. It is practical and skills-oriented, often used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and difficulties with coping. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on processing and reducing the ongoing impact of past traumatic experiences, helping people rebuild safety, stabilize emotional responses, and develop healthier coping strategies.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Erin Cannon collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy aligns with what the client finds most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other commitments. Erin provides support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that best suits their schedule and comfort. Working with licensed professionals in these formats can increase accessibility and make consistent care easier to maintain.
