How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Ricky commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing in his work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence, with practical homework to try new behaviors. EMDR involves guided processing of distressing memories to lessen their emotional charge and can help with trauma symptoms.He also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice reactions without getting pulled into them, which can support stress and anxiety management. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist and client review symptoms, goals, and preferences and then try approaches that fit those needs.
Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as the profile does not list specific online formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to keep regular check-ins. It can also allow for shorter phone check-ins when bandwidth or camera use is a concern, or video meetings when visual cues help the work. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and what will work best for the client's daily life.
