How Eileen uses therapeutic approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people clarify their priorities and make decisions that fit their life. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact; people often use it for trauma-related symptoms or painful memories.Choosing an approach is a collaborative step. Eileen will discuss goals and preferences with the person and recommend methods that fit those aims. The plan can change as progress unfolds, with reviews to make sure the approach stays useful and practical.
