How Madeleine’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person says. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects concerns, and helps clarify goals. This approach is useful for anxiety, relationship strain, self-esteem, and day-to-day coping.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that works with distressing memories and their emotional impact. It is often used for post-traumatic stress and long-standing trauma symptoms and is presented in clear, step-by-step sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Madeleine collaborates with each person to decide which methods best fit their goals and comfort level. She combines short-term strategies and longer trauma-focused work as needed, and checks in about progress so plans can change over time.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time, which can make regular appointments easier to keep. Different session styles can support quieter check-ins, more focused skills work, or deeper EMDR phases depending on what the therapist and client agree is appropriate.
