Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Treatment

Mallory draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused approaches to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills to change behaviors - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Trauma-Focused Therapy, including techniques like Cognitive Processing Therapy, addresses the impact of traumatic events by helping clients process painful memories and reduce trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Mallory works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then recommends or adapts methods that best fit the individual's situation. This collaborative planning helps ensure that therapy feels relevant and doable for each person.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and other commitments, and they allow people to continue therapeutic work from home or while traveling. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver focused, structured treatment and to support clients between sessions with skills and coaching.
