Must-Have EMDR Skills for Online Therapy (even if you aren’t trained in EMDR!)

Date course created: October 2021

Online therapy has become the norm for many clinicians, and there are many benefits to this, including improved access to care for some of the clients who need it the most. However, given that online therapy, or telemental health, is still in its early stages, some providers feel uncertain about how, or even whether, to provide some types of psychotherapy virtually.

And, no training in EMDR or NDIT is required, as these techniques can be incorporated into any therapy approach!
