Bringing presence, safety, and connection to virtual trauma treatment.

Online EMDR offers a comprehensive guide to delivering EMDR therapy through telehealth with skill, cultural responsiveness, and care. Jennifer Marchand presents a relational model that keeps the therapeutic relationship at the center of recovery, showing clinicians how to create a felt sense of presence and trust even at a distance. With close attention to the nervous system, she demonstrates how therapists can strengthen cues of safety and use the online environment creatively to support connection and dual attention.

Clinicians are guided through each phase of EMDR, from early assessment and preparation to bilateral stimulation and trauma reprocessing, with thoughtful attention to the realities of online work. Marchand addresses the complexities that shape trauma treatment, including dissociation, attachment wounds, ongoing adversity, and the varied needs clients bring across cultures, identities, abilities, and contexts. Integrating theory with clinical guidance, scripts, examples, and adaptable tools, this book equips EMDR therapists to provide ethical, relational care across distances.
