How Dagmar’s approaches translate to online therapy
Dagmar uses client-centred work and trauma-focused methods that can adapt well to remote sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting back what matters to the person, helping them find their own solutions and priorities. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on stabilising distressing memories and building coping skills to manage reactions in daily life.EMDR, which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is also listed among her approaches. EMDR involves guided attention and processing steps to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories, and it is often used when past events continue to affect present feelings and behaviours.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options with each person, match techniques to their goals, and adjust the plan as work progresses. Clients are invited to share preferences and concerns so the process feels manageable.
If you want online sessions, please confirm the currently offered formats before booking, as the profile does not list them explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer alternatives for people who prefer not to meet in person.
