Evidence-informed approaches, made accessible online
Gary Zarchy integrates practical, client-focused methods that translate well to online therapy. In Client-Centered Therapy, the work begins with respect for the client’s perspective and pace, creating room to clarify what is most important and build on existing strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) brings structure to the process by helping clients notice patterns between thoughts, emotions, and actions, which can be especially useful for concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, and everyday coping. For clients impacted by trauma and difficult memories, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) offers a focused way to process experiences that still feel stuck, supporting steadier day-to-day functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the process, not a test to pass. Gary works collaboratively with clients to choose a direction that fits their needs, goals, and preferences, and he can adjust the pace and tools as therapy unfolds.
Online therapy also makes it easier to stay consistent when life is busy. Sessions can take place through video calls or phone sessions, and support can continue through live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexible ways to reflect, practice new skills, and stay connected to the work between appointments.
