Why Online EMDR Is Growing in Popularity?
For many people living outside major cities, accessing specialised mental-health services can be challenging. Long travel times, limited practitioners and busy schedules make regular in-person therapy difficult. Online EMDR therapy provides an accessible, effective alternative for rural and remote clients.
Is Online EMDR Effective?
Research and clinical experience show that EMDR can be successfully delivered online using video platforms. The core components — memory reprocessing, bilateral stimulation, grounding, and emotional regulation — are all adaptable to telehealth.
Clients often find online EMDR more comfortable because they can participate from a private, familiar space.
