04Online support
Practical approaches for online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at the link between thoughts and feelings. It teaches simple skills to test negative thoughts and try different behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses how past hurt affects current life and focuses on processing those experiences so they cause less disruption day to day.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Karin will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences rather than offering one fixed plan. Together they set small steps and adjust as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is useful for a full session and visual connection. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work for quick updates, brief check-ins, and people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and keep consistent contact over time.
