04Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on how thoughts and actions affect feelings. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking, test new behaviors, and practice skills to reduce anxiety, depression, or impulsive habits.Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on identifying and expressing core emotions in relationships. It is useful for improving communication, resolving attachment-related pain, and rebuilding connection between partners or within close relationships.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss needs, goals, and preferences and then try techniques that match those aims. Plans are adjusted based on what works, and clients are encouraged to give feedback along the way.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports short, ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue work between meetings.
