Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a non-judgmental, empathetic space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers understanding and support. This approach helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns and navigating life changes because it prioritizes the client's own goals and pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress, providing structured tools that clients can apply between sessions to see measurable improvements.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people resolve uncertainty about change and find their own motivation. It is particularly useful for issues like substance use and other habits where ambivalence can be a barrier.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Arben works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. He blends techniques as appropriate and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities or limited local options. These formats make it easier to access regular support, maintain continuity of care and use tools and homework between sessions, while allowing licensed professionals to tailor the experience to each client's routine and comfort.
