Integrating Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Barbara uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space where people can explore their feelings and personal values at their own pace. This approach focuses on understanding the client's perspective and fostering self-awareness, which can help with low confidence, relationship issues, and emotional processing.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is offered to identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies to manage symptoms such as anxiety and depression. CBT provides concrete tools for changing behaviours and improving day-to-day functioning.
Hypnotherapy can be used as an adjunct to other methods to help access focused relaxation and reinforce positive change, often supporting work on habits, motivation, and confidence. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process - licensed professionals and therapists work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences.
Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or while traveling, and choose the communication style that fits each person's life and therapeutic goals.
