How his approaches fit into online therapy
Dr. Galvin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing as foundations for treatment. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises to reduce anxiety and depression. EMDR involves structured processing of distressing memories to reduce their emotional charge, which can help with trauma and panic symptoms.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals and comfort level, and may combine techniques over time as needs change.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and continue work while living outside the therapist's immediate area. It can also support shorter check-ins when schedules require quick follow-ups, or conversations that do not need to be face to face. Ask about the available session lengths and scheduling to find what fits your routine.
