Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Isabella draws on several well-established approaches to tailor online therapy to each person's needs. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and helps people address trust, closeness and separation issues that affect relationships and emotional regulation. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises empathy, nonjudgemental listening and collaboration - the therapist supports the client to reflect, set goals and build self-understanding at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns; it is useful for managing anxiety, low mood and practical day-to-day coping strategies.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Isabella works collaboratively with clients to understand their priorities, preferences and goals, and then adapts methods so the work fits each individual rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, busy work weeks or when mobility is limited, while allowing licensed professionals to deliver focused, consistent support over time.
