Therapeutic approaches for online emotional support
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - is a practical, goal-focused approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It is often used to address anxiety, low mood, and everyday coping challenges by building new skills and clearer perspectives. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings, which can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation; it is helpful for stress, persistent worry, and improving overall wellbeing.
Penny uses these approaches flexibly and works collaboratively with each person to find what fits best. She explores a client's needs, goals, and preferences and adapts techniques from CBT or mindfulness accordingly, so the plan reflects the client's situation rather than a one-size-fits-all method.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls and phone sessions let people have real-time conversations without travel, while live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter, more frequent check-ins or an alternative way to communicate. These options increase flexibility and accessibility, making it easier to maintain continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists regardless of a client's schedule or location.
