If you’ve heard of EMDR therapy and wondered whether it can be done remotely, the short answer is yes.

Remote EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) allows you to engage in trauma-informed therapy from the comfort and privacy of your own space, while still receiving the full benefits of this evidence-based approach.

What is EMDR?

EMDR is a structured, research supported therapy that helps people process distressing memories and experiences that continues to feel “stuck” in the nervous system. It’s commonly used to treat trauma and PTSD, and it’s also effective for anxiety, depression, grief, and other overwhelming life experiences.

Rather than focusing only on talking though events, EMDR helps the brain reprocess memories so they no longer feel as intense or disruptive in the present.

How Does Remote EMDR Work?

Remote EMDR follows the same therapeutic phases as in-person EMDR. The main difference is how bilateral stimulation is delivered.

In virtual sessions, bilateral stimulation may include:

• Guided eye movements on your screen
• Alternating sounds through headphones
• Tapping or gentle self-directed movements

Your therapist will guide you step-by-step, ensuring the process feels safe, grounded, and tailored to your needs.
