How EMDR and collaborative care work online

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, helps when painful memories and trauma keep affecting daily life. It uses guided processing to reduce the emotional charge of memories so people can think and cope more easily. Christy uses EMDR techniques when trauma or abuse is a central concern and adapts pacing to each person’s comfort.

Christy also integrates person-centered listening and cognitive-behavioral ideas. Person-centered work focuses on listening and building trust so people feel heard. Cognitive-behavioral ideas help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes to improve mood and functioning. Together these approaches give practical options to try between sessions as well as during them.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and any concerns to decide what to try first. That may mean starting slowly with trauma-focused work, using skills for day-to-day coping, or mixing methods based on what the client needs.
