04Online support
Practical therapy approaches for online sessions
Carla uses client-centered therapy to keep the conversation focused on each person's priorities and experience. This approach invites people to set the pace and topics, and it works well when someone needs a listening space that honors their goals.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, a method that helps identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. CBT can be useful for stress, anxiety, low mood, and patterns that interfere with daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carla collaborates with clients to pick or blend methods based on needs, goals, and personal preference. She checks in and adapts the plan as progress is made so the approach stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and styles. Video lets people work face to face when that feels important. Phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth or camera time is limited. Live chat and messaging are options for shorter check-ins, ongoing support between meetings, or when typing feels easier. These formats aim to make regular, practical therapy possible around life commitments.
