04Online support
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person, helping them feel heard and guiding choices. It is useful for relationship strain, self-esteem concerns, grief, and parenting questions.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, OCD symptoms, and phobias. CBT breaks problems into manageable steps and teaches skills people can practice between sessions.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for emotional regulation and distress tolerance, which can help with intense anger, overwhelming anxiety, or patterns of impulsive behavior.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Methods may shift over time as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, coping skills practice, or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping focus on practical skills and consistent progress.
