Therapeutic approaches for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-directive environment where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach supports self-discovery, confidence building, and steady progress through achievable steps and is well suited to issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and relational worries.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. It is practical and goal-oriented, often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and improving day-to-day functioning.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding and transforming emotional responses within relationships. EFT can be helpful for couples and individuals dealing with attachment, communication breakdowns, and emotional disconnection.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Freya works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods best match each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. The choice of approach can evolve as therapy progresses to ensure the best fit.
Online therapy by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limits. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists without rearranging life around appointments.
