How sessions work
Approaches used online and how they help
Lisa commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR alongside mindfulness practices. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and then testing and changing them. It is often used to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits by teaching concrete skills and homework exercises.EMDR involves structured memory processing techniques that can reduce distress linked to traumatic memories. It is aimed at people who carry trauma, post-traumatic stress, or intense reactions to past events. Mindfulness practice helps people slow down their reactivity through focused attention and simple breathing exercises, which can reduce stress and improve moment-to-moment coping.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match approaches to their goals, symptoms, and preferences, adjusting over time based on what helps most.
