Approaches That Guide Online Therapeutic Care
Fiona often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships influence current patterns - this approach can help with attachment issues, relationship difficulties, and family dynamics by focusing on connection and emotional bonds. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so clients can lead the pace and focus of their work while building self-awareness and confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another commonly used approach that helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Fiona works collaboratively with each person to find the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She integrates techniques when appropriate and adjusts the plan as clients progress.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into busy schedules or to connect from different locations. These options can increase accessibility and allow therapy to continue through life transitions, helping people sustain progress while balancing other responsibilities.
