What is Online Brainspotting?

Brainspotting is a novel and powerful therapy for healing stress, trauma, anxiety, depression and many other mental health challenges. Brainspotting therapy combines the science of the mind-body connection with heart-centered therapy to deliver deep healing. Brainspotting goes beyond talk therapy and accesses the root of where old patterns are stuck and trauma is stored. It blends somatic therapy, neuroscience, embodiment, relational attunement and presence to foster profound change.

Access to Healing: The Power of Online Brainspotting Therapy

At the heart of Brainspotting therapy is the understanding that “where you look affects how you feel”. Your eye position affects your emotional state. In fact, it connects you to the deep centers of your brain allowing you to access the emotions, patterns and experiences stored there. The ocular nerve has a direct line to the primitive parts of the brain responsible for nervous system regulation, stress reactions and daily survival.

Your brainspotting therapist will assist you to access the eye position or brainspot while you tune into the correlating body or sensory experiences. This allows you to access and process trauma, grief, anxiety, or stuck emotions. Online brainspotting is as effective as in person sessions. All that is required is finding a brainspot and staying connected or tuned into to your body. Both of which your therapist can assist you with.

Deep Healing with Online Brainspotting Therapy: Anxiety, depression, trauma and mental health challenges

Brainspotting offers deep healing. It is a powerful and accessible path for healing trauma by combining focused mindfulness with the brain’s natural capacity to process emotional pain.

Brainspotting therapy works by identifying and holding a visual “brainspot” that correlates with unresolved emotional experiences, allowing for subtle body shifts and deep nervous system regulation.

Within the dual attunement frame, where both therapist and client are attuned to the internal process, a profound sense of safety and presence supports deep emotional release and trauma healing.

Unlike traditional talk therapy and cognitive treatments, Brainspotting reaches into the depth of the brain and body, making it especially effective for those struggling with anxiety, depression, and the lingering effects of trauma. As the process unfolds over the course of therapy, many individuals experience a renewed sense of self, life energy, focus, and inner peace, making online Brainspotting a transformative approach to long-term healing.

Benefits of Online Brainspotting Therapy

1. Comfort of your own space

   You remain in a safe, familiar space, your home, office, car or a quiet corner. A comfortable environment supports neurobiological calm. Your environment can be ambient and supportive: soft lighting, soothing sounds, and physical comfort. This promotes ease, safety and creative processing.

2. Effective, efficient and deep healing

   Traditional talk therapy can take months if not years. Brainspotting often achieves breakthroughs in far less time than talk therapy. Online access makes therapy more accessible and efficient.

3. Global access to expert therapists

   Access to highly trained BSP practitioners is available wherever you are located. Brainspotting is a primary form of therapy that we work with in our practice. Given the nuance to attunement and somatic embodiment, finding a therapist who uses brainspotting often in their practice is important.

4. Consistency without compromise

   Your healing path stays on track, even during travel, illness, or relocation. Continuity strengthens neuroplastic change and emotional resilience. Online therapy improves consistency with support.

5. Continued integration

   After sessions, you stay in the space of healing. You can journal, rest, or connect with nature immediately, allowing seamless integration of neural and emotional shifts.

How It Works: A Session Flow

1. Check‑in & Intention

   Identify what you want to work on with your therapist. Gently scan your body, noticing any areas of activation.

2. Locate the Brainspot

   The therapist guides your gaze while you connect with sensations tied to an issue.

3. Somatic Attunement

   Focus on the subtle shifts in sensation, allowing energy or emotion to move organically while the therapist attunes to your experience.

4. Processing & Integration

   Insights often emerge non‑verbally during a session; when they do, they’re welcomed. Safety and presence remain paramount.

5. Closing & Embodiment

   You debrief, anchor your learning, and may be offered simple tools (e.g. breathing, mindful noticing) to keep the shifts alive.
