Therapeutic approaches and online therapy options



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors and developing practical strategies to change them. It is often used for issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with motivation or self-esteem.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a structured approach that can help process distressing memories and reduce the emotional impact of traumatic experiences. It is commonly used to address trauma, abuse, and related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Naftoli works collaboratively with clients and registered professionals to determine which methods best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to stay consistent with appointments, access support from home, and maintain continuity of care despite life changes or geographic limitations.
