How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Dr. Matise commonly uses client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and EMDR in online sessions. Client-centered therapy means conversations focus on what matters to the client, with the therapist listening and reflecting to help clarify feelings and goals. CBT targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, teaching practical skills and exercises that clients can use between sessions. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that works with distressing memories and related reactions, and can be adapted for remote delivery when it is a good match for the person's needs.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they can try different techniques and adjust the plan as progress is made or needs change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to work together. Video calls let the therapist and client see one another and use visual cues, while phone sessions can fit a short break or work schedule and require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, journaling, or sharing thoughts between appointments. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent when life is busy or travel is difficult, and they support the practical steps involved in CBT, client-centered conversations, or EMDR-informed work.
