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 Game-Changing 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
Advanced Sound Options: Tailoring Auditory Bilateral Stimulation
CloudEMDR Pro provides 5 distinct sound options for bilateral auditory stimulation, each designed for different therapeutic scenarios and client preferences.
The 5 Pro Sound Options
1. Classic Tone
Traditional bilateral beeping sounds. Best for clients familiar with standard EMDR protocols.
2. Nature Sounds
Gentle bilateral nature sounds (rain, waves, etc.). Ideal for anxious clients or those who find traditional tones jarring.
3. Musical Tones
Harmonious bilateral musical sounds. Effective for clients with musical backgrounds or sensitivities to harsh sounds.
4. Subtle Clicks
Soft, minimal clicking sounds. Perfect for highly sensitive clients or when minimal auditory distraction is needed.
5. Enhanced Bilateral
Specially designed complex bilateral tones. Advanced option for experienced clients or specific trauma processing needs.
Choosing the Right Sound for Your Client
Sound selection can significantly impact therapeutic effectiveness:
- Initial sessions: Start with Classic Tone unless client has specific preferences
- Anxious clients: Nature Sounds can be more calming and less intimidating
- Sound sensitivity: Subtle Clicks work well for clients with auditory processing issues
- Children/adolescents: Musical Tones often engage younger clients more effectively
- Complex trauma: Enhanced Bilateral may provide deeper bilateral stimulation
Four Distinct Animation Types
CloudEMDR Pro offers 4 different dot animation patterns, each creating a unique visual bilateral stimulation experience.
