Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, empathetic relationship in which the therapist follows the client’s perspective and helps them explore values, feelings, and goals. This approach is often helpful for building self-esteem, improving motivation, and navigating life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour. It offers practical tools for managing symptoms of anxiety, stress, and depression by teaching techniques to reframe thoughts and try new coping strategies.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple attention practices that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. It can be useful for managing stress, grounding during difficult moments, and cultivating acceptance.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and typically happens collaboratively. Petra will work with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and to tailor interventions that fit their life and circumstances.

Online therapy via video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or those who prefer remote sessions. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent support across different formats, making it easier to fit therapy into day-to-day life.
