04Online support
How tailored approaches work in online therapy
Susan uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful space where a person’s experience guides the work. That approach focuses on listening, helping clients feel heard, and building goals from their priorities.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to teach specific skills for managing anxiety, mood, sleep, and eating concerns. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to see what changes in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. Together they will set goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face work and skill coaching, phone sessions can fit a short break at work, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These formats make it easier to use therapy around school, work, and family commitments.
