04Online support
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding the person’s experience and following what matters most to them; it helps people who need a therapist who listens, reflects, and helps them find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood shifts, and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for tolerating distress, regulating intense emotions, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for anger, mood instability, and strong emotional reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that match their goals, needs, and daily life. Sessions often mix listening and skill teaching so the plan can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for in-depth work. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and between-session support possible. These options can help people keep continuity of care despite travel, busy schedules, or caregiving duties.
