04Online support
How therapy approaches translate online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and building a trusting working relationship. Online sessions using this approach give space for people to talk through feelings and identify what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In online sessions this can involve identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing new behaviors between meetings, and tracking progress together.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and strengthens commitment. It works well when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about making different choices.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose approaches that match the person's goals and preferences and will adjust the plan as needs evolve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit during a busy day, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and let people use the format that fits their routine.
