Therapeutic approaches for online support and healing
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a nonjudgmental, empathic environment where the client guides the pace and content of sessions. This approach supports people dealing with grief, relationship challenges and life transitions by emphasising understanding and personal agency.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and gently challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours, offering practical strategies to manage anxiety, mood difficulties and stress. It is often used alongside other approaches to build coping skills and clearer thinking.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages acceptance of difficult emotions while clarifying personal values and committed action. It can be especially helpful for people struggling with ongoing distress who want to live more consistently with what matters to them.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Deborah collaborates with each person to determine which methods align best with their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as work progresses.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging provide flexible ways to access therapy. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow people to receive support from familiar surroundings while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
