The Healing Tools of Our Trade – Now Accessible From Anywhere
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based psychotherapy gaining widespread recognition for its remarkable effectiveness, often surpassing traditional talk therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Whether you’re in California, Nevada, or Colorado, you can now experience the power of EMDR therapy online, allowing you to heal from the comfort of your own home.
Originally developed for PTSD and complex trauma, EMDR has proven highly effective for a wide range of mental health challenges, including:
- Anxiety & Panic Disorders
- Depression & Emotional Numbness
- Stress & Burnout
- Phobias & Fears
- Attachment Wounds & Relationship Issues
How EMDR Works
Imagine your mind as a complex knot of emotions, thoughts, and body sensations tied to past experiences. EMDR serves as a precise tool to gently untangle that knot, freeing you from trauma’s grip and allowing for deep emotional healing.
During an EMDR session, you’ll focus on a distressing memory while your therapist guides you through bilateral stimulation—a technique that activates both sides of your brain. This can involve:
- Guided eye movements (following a therapist’s hand or cursor)
- Self-tapping (using your hands to tap on your shoulders or knees)
- Audio tones (alternating sounds in each ear)
This gentle yet powerful process facilitates natural healing, reducing emotional distress and bringing a greater sense of balance and peace.
Does EMDR Work Online? (Yes, It Absolutely Does!)
Research shows that online EMDR therapy is just as effective as in-person sessions. In fact, many trauma survivors find virtual EMDR even more beneficial because they can:
- Avoid the stress of commuting, parking, and sitting in waiting rooms.
- Stay in a familiar, safe space—whether that’s curled up with a blanket, next to a pet, or in the comfort of home.
- Engage deeply in processing without worrying about the transition back into daily life.
Experience Lasting Relief – Wherever You Are
Some clients describe EMDR as akin to “brain surgery for trauma”—a process that goes beyond symptom relief to heal the core wounds that keep you stuck.
If you’re looking for lasting relief, personal growth, and freedom from the past, online EMDR therapy may be the transformational path forward.

Frequently Asked Questions About EMDR Therapy
How many EMDR sessions do I need?
- The number of sessions varies for each person. Some clients experience significant relief in as few as 6-8 sessions, while others with complex trauma may benefit from longer-term EMDR work. Your therapist will collaborate with you to determine the best approach.
Is online EMDR therapy as effective as in-person sessions?
- Yes! Research shows that online EMDR is just as effective as in-person sessions. Many clients prefer virtual EMDR because they can process trauma from the comfort of their own home without the added stress of commuting.
Do I have to talk about my trauma in detail for EMDR to work?
- No! Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR does not require you to share every detail of your traumatic experiences. Instead, we focus on how your body and brain are holding onto distress and work toward resolution in a way that feels safe for you.
Can EMDR help with anxiety, perfectionism, or people-pleasing?
- Absolutely. While EMDR is well-known for trauma treatment, it is also highly effective for reducing anxiety, breaking perfectionism cycles, and healing attachment wounds that contribute to people-pleasing behaviors.
