Therapeutic Approaches and How They Work Online

Cathy commonly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with relationship difficulties, abandonment or attachment issues, and family dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a warm, nonjudgmental environment where the person leads the pace of change and builds self-understanding, which can support issues like low self-esteem and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, offering practical strategies to manage anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful thinking patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cathy works with each person to identify which methods feel like the best fit for their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the therapeutic plan as the work unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter or more immediate support can be provided via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or other commitments and to maintain regular contact with licensed professionals and therapists even when in-person meetings are not possible.
