Approaches that guide online therapy and flexible delivery
Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathic environment where the client leads the pace and focus of work. This approach helps people explore values, build self-understanding, and strengthen their sense of agency in relationships and life choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses practical strategies to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop new coping skills. It is often helpful for anxiety, low mood, panic, obsessive thoughts, and problems with daily functioning by teaching concrete tools to manage symptoms.
Psychodynamic therapy explores underlying emotional patterns and early experiences that shape current behaviour and relationships. It can help people gain insight into repeated difficulties and develop new ways of relating to themselves and others.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Sophia works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review progress and adapt the plan as therapy unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. This range of options makes it easier for people to access consistent support, maintain momentum between sessions, and choose formats that suit their daily life while working with a licensed professional.
