Marshawna emphasizes sensitivity and individualized care, shaping conversations and treatment plans around what matters most to each client.

Marshawna recognizes that beginning therapy often requires courage and affirms clients for taking that first step toward change.

EMDR and Personalized Approaches for Online Therapy

Marshawna incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) into her practice, a structured therapy that helps people process distressing memories and reduce the emotional impact of trauma. EMDR often involves guided attention and bilateral stimulation while recalling difficult experiences, and it can be helpful for trauma-related symptoms and intense emotional reactions.

Alongside EMDR, Marshawna uses a compassionate, person-centered stance that prioritizes respect, sensitivity, and empathy. She also emphasizes individualized treatment planning, working with each client to shape the dialogue and therapeutic steps to fit their unique needs and goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Marshawna partners with clients to evaluate which methods align with their history, preferences, and objectives, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Online therapy offers practical benefits for this collaborative work - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility to meet people where they are. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not feasible.
