Online approaches for trauma, mood, and stress
Marguerite Elkins uses clinically proven approaches that translate well to online work. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps people process traumatic memories by using structured bilateral stimulation alongside guided recall - it can reduce the intensity of distressing memories and related symptoms. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill building, which is effective for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that help people regulate emotions and remain present during difficult moments, supporting long-term coping and resilience.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Marguerite will work with each person to consider their history, goals, and preferences and then recommend or combine methods that fit their needs. Clients are encouraged to share what feels most helpful so the plan can be adjusted over time.
Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, continue work from different locations within the therapist's service area, and maintain continuity of treatment while moving through life changes.
