Background and approach
Her background includes work with active duty soldiers, which shaped her approach to trauma and resilience. Dr. Fraley uses body-centered methods alongside talk-based tools.
She pairs Somatic Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR when clinically appropriate. That combination lets her address how stress and trauma show up in the body as well as in thoughts and feelings. In sessions she treats trauma and anxiety thoughtfully, and she may include video sessions when focusing on those concerns.
Appointments in the morning are available, and she often works with people aiming for short-term therapy goals that can be completed within a defined window. Her style is collaborative and practical. She works to identify strengths in each person’s story and helps them build skills they can use outside sessions.
The aim is to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.
How somatic and trauma approaches work online
Dr. Fraley uses Somatic Therapy to help people notice how stress and trauma show up in the body. That work focuses on breath, posture, and bodily awareness to reduce tension and reactivity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping skills for anxiety and mood concerns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is offered as a trauma-focused method that can help process distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their symptoms, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most and what feels manageable for the individual.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes therapy easier to fit into busy schedules. Video lets the therapist observe body language and guide somatic exercises, while phone or messaging can work for skill practice and check-ins. These options aim to make care more flexible and accessible for people balancing work, family, and other demands.
