How Kara Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavior changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and work-related difficulties. EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, helps people reduce the intensity of traumatic memories by processing them in a structured way; it is commonly used for trauma and abuse-related distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kara will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She reviews needs and adjusts the plan as progress is made so the approach stays practical and relevant.
