Approaches for Online Therapeutic Work

Shirin Roberts integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and EMDR in her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person s experience and building a trusting therapeutic relationship, which can help with self-esteem, motivation, and relationship concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach aimed at processing traumatic memories and reducing the way those memories affect daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process, and she works collaboratively with people to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps shape a treatment plan that is responsive and adaptable over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain consistency during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations. The variety of formats also lets people choose the way of communicating that feels most comfortable for them.
