Client-centered and evidence-informed approaches for online care

Shirnel Alleyne-Grant uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where the person’s values and experiences guide the work. This approach emphasizes listening, validation, and collaboration so that goals arise from the client’s own priorities and strengths.

She also employs cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is often useful for addressing anxiety, depression, stress, and problems that involve repetitive negative thoughts or avoidance behaviors.

Motivational interviewing is another tool she uses to support change by exploring a person’s own motivations and ambivalence in a nonjudgmental way. This method can be especially helpful when clients are weighing difficult decisions or trying to build sustainable habits.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. She works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to connect from different locations. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals in ways that suit their comfort and routines while maintaining continuity of care.
