04Online support
Approaches that address body and memory in online care
Lois uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on how the body and memories influence current reactions. One approach she draws on looks at how past events get stored in the body and aims to help people notice bodily signals, release tension, and retrain stress responses. This can help when memories or physical reactions keep getting triggered by everyday events.Another approach she uses involves guiding people to process upsetting memories in a paced way so those memories feel less overwhelming. That work often reduces the power of flashbacks, panic, or intense emotional reactions and helps people feel more present in daily life.
Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, life demands, and personal preferences, then try approaches that match those needs. Clients and the therapist check in regularly and adjust methods based on what helps most.
Online care is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit modern schedules. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low. Chat and text are helpful for brief check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy days.
