Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Nicola McCann uses client-centered therapy to build a respectful, collaborative relationship that places the client’s perspective and goals at the center of treatment. This approach is helpful for people seeking empathy, validation, and a safe space to explore personal values and priorities.She also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT can be effective for addressing anxiety, depression, coping with life changes, and some aspects of addiction-related thinking.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) techniques are used when clients need practical skills for emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance. DBT strategies can be especially useful for managing intense emotions and improving communication in relationships.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Nicola will work with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals and will adapt methods as the work evolves so the treatment fits the individual.
Online therapy offers flexible options - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - that make it easier to fit care into a busy life. These formats allow clients to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations, maintain continuity of care during transitions, and find the communication style that feels most comfortable.
