Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Dagmar integrates client-centered work with targeted modalities to meet each person where they are. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and creating a supportive, non-judgemental space so people can explore their feelings and build self-trust - it is useful for issues like low mood, relationship difficulties, and self-esteem. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity; it is often used for survivors of abuse and those carrying traumatic memories. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and strengths to help clients move toward specific goals, making it a good fit for stress, coping with life changes, and problem solving.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Dagmar works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques where needed and encourages an open dialogue about what is and is not working.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, so people can engage from different locations and fit sessions around work, family, or other commitments. Registered professionals and therapists can deliver meaningful, person-centered work through these formats, allowing continuity of care even when in-person meetings are not possible.
