Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care
Emma draws on Client-Centered Therapy, an approach that focuses on creating a warm, accepting space where clients lead the pace of conversations and explore their own values and goals. This approach is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions and building self-understanding.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and develop practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, sleep problems and stress. CBT offers structured tools and exercises that can produce noticeable changes in daily coping.
When appropriate, Emma incorporates Solution-Focused techniques to help clients set clear, achievable goals and build on existing strengths. These brief, goal-oriented interventions are useful when clients want practical steps toward change in areas such as time management, decision-making and career concerns.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Emma collaborates with each client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. Licensed professionals can adjust the balance of approaches over time to reflect progress and changing priorities.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, allowing clients to engage from different locations and schedules. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access support in ways that suit daily life while working with a trained therapist.
