Approaches That Guide Online Therapy



Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotions and behaviour. It helps people who struggle with trust, intimacy, abandonment, or repeated relationship patterns by exploring attachment needs and building more secure ways of relating.

Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s experience at the heart of the work, offering empathetic listening and nonjudgemental support so individuals can discover their own solutions. This approach is useful for stress, low self-esteem, life transitions, and situations where a supportive, reflective relationship is needed.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and develops practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and related concerns. CBT is often integrated with other approaches to provide both insight and actionable strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Leonard works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or those living at a distance. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions, maintain continuity of care, and access licensed professionals from different locations.
