04Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Russell commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions begin with listening and understanding your perspective so you feel heard before making changes. This approach helps when someone needs a safe place to sort through feelings and priorities.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, and changing habits that get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and try different techniques to see what fits. This collaborative process lets the plan shift as progress or new needs appear.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different schedules and styles. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging can suit people who prefer writing, need frequent brief support, or want flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work, parenting, or other routines while still using the approaches described above.
