Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Heather Engle incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR to address a range of emotional and trauma-related concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anxiety and stress, and teaching practical skills to shift those patterns for more balanced thinking and improved coping. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact, often used for post-traumatic stress and deep-seated traumatic responses.

Heather views selection of a therapeutic approach as a collaborative process. She works with each person to understand their history, goals, and preferences, and together they determine which methods are most likely to be helpful, adjusting the plan as needed to fit the client’s progress and comfort.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in care - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to receive consistent support without major disruptions to daily life. These options allow licensed professionals to provide ongoing skill-building, processing, and emotional support in a way that fits clients’ schedules and needs.
