Online EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
I’m not good enough…
I’m alone…
I’m not important…
I’m not capable…
I’m not safe…
Have you been feeling like you’re not good enough, not worthy, or just like you can’t keep up? Maybe those feelings have followed you your whole life, or maybe they’re new—triggered by a recent trauma, life transition, or overwhelm.
If these thoughts are affecting your daily life, we want you to know: Life does not have to feel this heavy.
You deserve to feel safe, capable, and like you’re enough. We’re glad you’re here and that you are taking the first step towards healing. Online EMDR therapy is designed to support with getting you feeling worthwhile again. Let’s shake off that feeling of being stuck or like you are carrying around a backpack full of bricks of past issues.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based treatment modality that can be used with a wide variety of issues to get you feeling more like yourself and feeling more capable to take on your day. It is a modality that truly works and can help shift the way you remember and feel about yourself and the world around you. It can support to shake all those negative, intrusive thoughts, and you deserve that.
Our trained online EMDR therapists have a huge passion for online EMDR therapy because they have seen just how drastically it has helped people. It is not your traditional talk therapy, and is actually one of the few modalities where there can be very little talking if you need there to be! It is also a modality a lot of people feel drawn to if they’ve gone through talk therapy and it just hasn’t been quite enough. Our clinicians do online EMDR therapy in MN, WI, CO, SC, CA, VT, DE, and FL.
What is EMDR? What is EMDR used to treat?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that has been around since the 1980s. It remains one of the gold standards of trauma treatment, although, we can use EMDR to support with a wide variety of issues. It helps people heal from emotional distress, trauma, and negative thought patterns.
Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR gets to the root of your challenges and helps your brain reprocess them—so that painful memories or intrusive thoughts no longer carry the same weight.
Our online EMDR therapists use bilateral stimulation (eye movements, tapping, audio cues), to help you brain “digest” or reprocess traumatic or overwhelming experiences. You still remember the memory, but it no longer overwhelms you or feels as big. It becomes just that: a memory, no longer controlling your present.
While EMDR gets talked a lot about in terms of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or other forms of trauma, it can be used for a wide variety of issues or challenges such as high-achieving anxiety or intrusive thoughts postpartum.
Online EMDR therapy is nothing like traditional talk therapy and most individuals find EMDR to be a very deep, rich sort of treatment—it also typically moves a lot quicker towards healing than traditional talk therapy with wider spread results.

EMDR is not just for PTSD or “big-T” traumas. Online EMDR therapy is also incredible effective for:
Performance anxiety
High-achieving anxiety
Overwhelmed moms
Intrusive thoughts postpartum (or in general!)
Postpartum mental health concerns
Low self-worth or perfectionism
Emotional overwhelm or burnout
Birth trauma or pregnancy loss
Events or things that just feel big
Because online EMDR therapy is highly structured and rooted in neuroscience and neurobiology, many clients feel that it helps them move forward with deep, lasting change.
We often see clients go from:
“I’m not good enough” to “I’m good enough, regardless”
“I can’t handle this” to “I’ve got this”
“I’m overwhelmed and it feels like everything is getting on top of me” to “I can do what I can and the rest is okay”
If you’re looking for this kind of change, online EMDR therapy may be the right fit for you and it may be time to reach out to our online EMDR therapists.

Online EMDR Therapy Intensives
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes! Some clients actually find EMDR to be more effective online due to being able to be in their own space and being able to decompress at home afterwards. We can use the same range of bilateral stimulation that we would in person via online EMDR therapy. We have online EMDR therapists in MN, CO, WI, FL, VT, DE, SC, & CA.
-
Online EMDR therapy does not make you forget the memory, but rather supports in that memory losing it’s emotional charge. Instead of thinking of a memory and having strong emotional reaction to it such as fear, anxiety, or overwhelm, you would just simply remember it in the way you would other memories that are neutral such as what you had for dinner last night.
-
This is a great question and one that is very hard to answer because it depends on the individual. Most individuals find that online EMDR therapy leads them to find healing quicker than traditional talk therapy, but all depends on how much someone is coming in with, how frequent they are seen, and how their brain responds to processing.
