Therapeutic approaches for online care
Marguerite Elkins commonly uses EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based strategies in her practice. EMDR is an approach that helps people process traumatic memories through guided bilateral stimulation and related techniques, often used for symptoms of trauma and post-traumatic stress. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, providing practical tools to manage anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Mindfulness therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and calming practices to reduce reactivity and improve coping with stress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative part of treatment. Marguerite works with each person to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences and then recommends or blends methods that fit the situation. Licensed professionals can adapt pace and technique as progress is made so the plan evolves with the client.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which increase flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or caregiving responsibilities. These remote formats make it easier to maintain consistent sessions and access therapists from different locations while supporting ongoing therapeutic work.
