04Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Douglas uses client-centered therapy to build a working relationship where the person feels heard and respected; this approach focuses on listening and responding to each person's unique goals and struggles. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which often works well online through structured conversation and take-home exercises. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and strengthen commitment, and it fits online when a therapist guides reflective questions and goal-setting.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Douglas will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. He adjusts the plan over time based on what helps most, and clients take an active role in shaping the sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
