Background and approach
That mix shaped a direct, results-oriented style. Sessions aim to identify patterns that keep problems going and test small changes that make life easier. Dr.
Galvin uses methods that target thoughts, memories, and body reactions. He commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new coping skills. He also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for difficult memories and trauma-related symptoms.
People come for stress, anxiety, anger, sleep problems, low self-esteem, grief, workplace issues, and many other concerns. He also supports issues related to trauma, panic attacks, phobias, sexual assault, and veteran and armed forces issues among others listed in his practice focus. Appointments can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

How these approaches fit online care
Dr. Galvin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT sessions involve practical exercises, homework, and step-by-step skill building that translate well to video or phone meetings.He also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a trauma-focused method that helps reduce the intensity of upsetting memories. EMDR work focuses on processing memories and the reactions they trigger and can be adapted to remote sessions when appropriate.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will review your goals and symptoms together and suggest whether CBT, EMDR, or trauma-focused techniques best match your needs. Decisions are collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for scheduling and different ways to connect. Video calls are useful for full sessions and exercises that need visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people share updates between sessions or use brief coaching-style exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, travel, or busy family life without losing continuity of care.
