04Online support
Therapeutic approaches used in online care
Derrick uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns to reduce anxiety and low mood; this involves noticing automatic thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence to create calmer responses. Another common method emphasizes building practical coping skills for stress and anger, such as breathing techniques, activity planning, and step-by-step problem solving to manage intense feelings.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Derrick will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which techniques to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth allows, phone calls work well when video is difficult, and chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into work, school, or busy family schedules.
