04Online support
Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Chantal commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how relationships shape feelings and reactions; this approach helps when connection, trust, and attachment concerns are central. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes listening and letting clients guide the pace and focus so therapy follows the client’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and to teach practical coping skills for anxiety, mood, and daily stresses.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods, check what helps, and adjust as work progresses so the approach fits the person rather than the other way around.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be an easier option when bandwidth is limited or a check-in is needed on a break. Live chat and messaging make brief check-ins and ongoing support more flexible. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep consistent contact with licensed professionals.
