04Online support
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The therapist reflects back what the person says and helps them identify their own goals and strengths. This approach is useful for building self-worth and clarity about life purpose.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It uses simple exercises to reduce anxiety, manage panic, and improve workplace functioning. CBT often involves homework between sessions to practice new skills.
EMDR is used to process disturbing memories and reduce their emotional hold. In online work it can be adapted into structured sessions that target specific traumatic or upsetting memories to reduce their intensity over time.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what feels comfortable, then suggest methods to try. Clients and the therapist can adjust the plan as progress is tracked and needs change.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier on busy days. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, and written reflections between sessions. These options help fit therapy into varied schedules and daily routines.
