How Thomas uses therapy approaches online
Thomas commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing as part of his practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. EMDR is used to help people process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional charge through structured sessions.He also draws on Narrative Therapy to help people revisit the stories they tell about themselves and Psychodynamic ideas to look at repeating patterns. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to match methods to their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in early sessions.
