04Online support
Approaches you can use in online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting and shifting the thoughts and behaviors that make stress and anxiety worse. It offers concrete skills people can practice between sessions to reduce worry and improve mood.Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on emotional experience and patterns that underlie relationship and attachment issues. It helps clarify feelings and teaches new ways to respond in close relationships to improve connection and intimacy.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will try strategies and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video lets people use face-to-face interaction when helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers shorter written exchanges. These options make scheduling easier and can help fit therapy into a busy life.
