04Online support
Approaches that translate well to online care
Sheila draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change day-to-day habits that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it gives concrete skills to try between sessions.She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking actions that matter, even when feelings are difficult. This approach can help with motivation, life transitions, and coping with chronic worries.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sheila will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. She adapts methods over time so the plan fits the client rather than forcing one style on everyone.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video works well for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits brief check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, travel, or busy family life.
