Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
David uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical steps and trauma recovery. One approach he uses is trauma-focused cognitive behavioral work, which helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of reacting to distressing memories and reminders. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and processing traumatic events.He also uses EMDR-informed methods to address trauma symptoms. EMDR involves guided attention and structured processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories; some people find it helps with intrusive memories and strong emotional reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods to try based on the person’s goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. He checks progress and adjusts methods if something is not helping.
