Bloom Therapy offers online EMDR therapy in Pennsylvania through Kaiti Snyder, LPC, EMDR trained. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured, evidence-based therapy for trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and distressing memories. Kaiti completed her EMDR training in 2025 and provides virtual EMDR sessions to clients across Pennsylvania. She is currently accepting new clients.
It is important to know: Kaiti is EMDR trained, not yet EMDR Certified. EMDR Certified status requires additional supervised hours beyond initial training. She provides thorough, competent EMDR treatment, and will always be transparent about her credentials.
What is EMDR therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapy originally developed for trauma and PTSD. It uses bilateral stimulation, most commonly alternating visual or auditory cues, to help the brain reprocess distressing memories so they lose their emotional charge. EMDR is recognized by the American Psychological Association, the World Health Organization, and the Department of Veterans Affairs as an effective treatment for PTSD and trauma.
EMDR works differently from talk therapy. Rather than talking extensively about what happened, EMDR focuses on how the memory is stored in your nervous system and helps your brain process it more adaptively. Many clients find it faster and less verbally intensive than traditional therapy.
How does online EMDR therapy work?
Online EMDR is delivered over secure, HIPAA-compliant video. The bilateral stimulation that is central to EMDR can be adapted for the screen: Kaiti uses visual tools, audio tones, or tapping techniques that you can do yourself. Research supports online EMDR as effective as in-person EMDR for many clients.
Sessions begin with stabilization and preparation before any trauma processing begins. Kaiti will not rush into the harder material. She takes time to ensure you have coping strategies and that you feel safe before moving into the processing phases. You can join from anywhere in Pennsylvania, including your home, your car, or any private space.
Who is online EMDR therapy for?
Online EMDR therapy with Kaiti Snyder may be a good fit if you are dealing with:
- Trauma or PTSD from childhood, relationships, accidents, or other events
- Anxiety that feels stuck or disproportionate
- Phobias or specific fears
- Grief and complicated loss
- Depression connected to past experiences
- Distressing memories that keep surfacing
- Feeling “frozen” or emotionally numb
- Life transitions that have stirred up old wounds
EMDR can also be combined with art therapy and trauma-informed talk therapy for a more integrated approach. Kaiti frequently weaves these modalities together based on what each client needs.

What to expect in online EMDR therapy
Your first session is a conversation. Kaiti will ask what brought you in, what you have tried before, and what you are hoping for. She does not begin trauma processing in the first session. Initial sessions focus on getting to know you, understanding your history, and building the coping skills and internal resources you need before processing begins.
When you are ready, EMDR processing sessions follow a structured protocol. Kaiti adapts the bilateral stimulation for the screen and checks in throughout. Many clients notice shifts within several sessions, though the number of sessions varies depending on complexity and what you are working on.
Fees and insurance
Sessions are $165. Kaiti is out-of-network only. She provides superbills after each session that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement depending on your out-of-network benefits. She is happy to talk through how this works during a free consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between EMDR trained and EMDR certified?
EMDR trained means a therapist has completed a formal EMDR training program covering the full eight-phase protocol. EMDR certified means the therapist has completed additional supervised hours and consultation after training. Kaiti completed her EMDR training in 2025 and is trained but not yet certified. She is transparent about this distinction and provides competent, thorough EMDR treatment.
Is online EMDR as effective as in-person EMDR?
Research supports online EMDR as effective for many clients. The bilateral stimulation used in EMDR can be adapted for the screen through visual tools, audio tones, or self-tapping techniques. Many clients prefer working from home, finding it more comfortable and accessible. Kaiti has experience delivering EMDR via telehealth and adapts her approach for the online format.
How many EMDR sessions will I need?
It varies. Some clients notice significant shifts in a handful of sessions on a specific memory or fear. Others work on more complex trauma over many months. Kaiti will be honest with you about the process and not string sessions along. Initial sessions focus on preparation and stabilization before any processing begins, which is important for safety and effectiveness.
Do you offer EMDR for anxiety, not just trauma?
Yes. While EMDR was developed for trauma and PTSD, it is also used effectively for anxiety, phobias, panic, and other concerns rooted in past experiences. If you have anxiety that feels disproportionate or stuck, EMDR may help address the underlying experiences driving it. Reach out and Kaiti can talk through whether it seems like a good fit for what you are dealing with.
Are you currently accepting new clients for EMDR?
Yes. Kaiti is currently accepting new clients in Pennsylvania for online EMDR therapy. The first step is a free 15-minute consultation. Reach out through the contact page or call 610.639.4158.
