Online support
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Dr. Davis commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR alongside mindfulness practices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is used to help people process distressing memories and lessen their emotional hold. Mindfulness teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and support calm during stressful moments.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss your goals, history, and preferences and help decide which methods feel most useful. Plans can change over time as needs shift, so the work stays collaborative and responsive to what actually helps you make progress.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video is useful for a more personal conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is low, live chat is good for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing brief reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while using the approaches above to address grief, anxiety, career decisions, and life transitions.
