Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT is a structured, goal-focused approach that helps people identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and develop practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, stress and related difficulties. It emphasizes skills-building and clear steps toward change.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - EMDR is a therapy used to process traumatic memories and reduce the intensity of associated emotions and symptoms. It can be helpful for people coping with trauma, abuse and distressing past experiences, and is delivered in a paced way that suits each person.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Naftoli works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting techniques as progress is made and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or elsewhere and try formats that best support each person’s engagement and progress.
