Therapists are all individual as to whether they allow in-between session contact, but overall, for you, I'd recommend a psycho-dynamic therapist (they're oriented toward building a caring therapeutic relationship) who also offers/uses CBT or DBT which are homework-oriented, skill-building methodologies. When you call to screen them, just ask their policy about out-of-session contact and anything else you want to know.
EMDR is a very focused, process-oriented method usually used after a while of establishing the relationship and confirming the client is in a stable place, ready to do specifically intensive trauma-reliving work. I've heard it's popular and know some folks who use it, but it's not particularly relationship oriented.
