CloudEMDR Pro transforms your EMDR therapy practice with advanced features designed for professional therapists. From distraction-free remote sessions to customizable bilateral stimulation options, Pro features help you deliver the highest quality therapeutic experience for your clients.
Why Upgrade to CloudEMDR Pro?
While CloudEMDR’s free version provides solid basic functionality, Pro features address the specific needs of professional therapists who want to optimize their remote EMDR practice:
- Enhanced client experience: Distraction-free sessions with optimal animation quality
- Professional flexibility: Multiple bilateral stimulation options to match client needs
- Advanced customization: Fine-tune sessions for different trauma types and client preferences
- Practice support: 24/7 premium support when you need it most
Remote Sessions: The Key Pro Feature
Remote Sessions are CloudEMDR Pro’s flagship feature, fundamentally changing how you conduct online EMDR therapy.
How Remote Sessions Work
The Pro Difference
Instead of sharing your screen (where clients see your controls), you send them a direct link to their dedicated session view. They see only the bilateral stimulation—no distractions, no controls, perfect quality.
Result: Clients focus entirely on the therapeutic process while you maintain complete control from your therapist interface.
Setting Up Remote Sessions
Getting started with Remote Sessions is straightforward:
- Create your session: Set up your bilateral stimulation preferences
- Generate client link: CloudEMDR creates a unique, secure link for your client
- Send to client: Share the link via your preferred secure communication method
- Start therapy: Begin your session with full control while client sees only the stimulation
Optimizing Remote Session Quality
To get the best results from Remote Sessions:
- Test beforehand: Always test the connection and quality before starting therapy
- Backup plans: Have alternative communication methods ready
- Client preparation: Ensure clients understand how to use the link and what to expect
- Environment setup: Guide clients on optimal viewing conditions and distractions
More Sounds for Auditory Bilateral Stimulation
CloudEMDR Pro gives you 5 bilateral sound options instead of the single sound in the free version. Each sound has a different character, so you can pick one that your client finds comfortable rather than distracting.
Choosing the Right Sound for Your Client
Sound selection can significantly impact therapeutic effectiveness:
- Initial sessions: Start with the default sound unless your client has specific preferences
- Sound sensitivity: Softer options work well for clients with auditory processing issues
- Try them together: Play the options briefly with your client and let them choose
- Combine with the dot: Visual and auditory stimulation can be used at the same time for a more immersive experience
More Movement Patterns for the Dot
CloudEMDR Pro expands the dot’s movement options beyond the free version’s linear and 8-shape patterns, adding diamond and diagonal patterns for more variety in visual bilateral stimulation.
Matching Movement to Therapeutic Goals
Different patterns serve different purposes:
- Linear movement: The classic left-to-right pattern for standard EMDR protocols and first-time clients
- 8-shape and random: Varied movement that keeps clients engaged and taxes working memory more
- Diamond and diagonal (Pro): Additional variety for clients who need a change of pace across longer treatments
- Client engagement: Varying patterns between sessions can help maintain interest and effectiveness
Pro also unlocks alternative dot styles, like the emoji-changing and animal dots, which work especially well for keeping younger clients engaged.
Combining Pro Features for Maximum Impact
Advanced Session Customization
The real power of CloudEMDR Pro comes from combining features strategically:
Example: Working with an Anxious Client
- Remote Session: Eliminates distractions for sensitive processing
- Softer sound option: Less jarring during difficult memories
- Calm background: A custom or built-in background that feels safe
- Slower speed: Allows deeper processing time
Example: Keeping a Young Client Engaged
- Remote Session: Clean presentation without visible controls
- Animal dot: A changing animal keeps attention on the movement
- 8-shape pattern: Playful, varied movement
- Moderate speed: Balances engagement with processing
Custom Backgrounds
Pro lets you upload your own background image, or choose from built-in scenes like a therapy practice, forest, mountains, or beach. A familiar or calming backdrop can make remote sessions feel less clinical and more grounded for your client.
