Therapeutic Approaches for Online Therapy
Stuart commonly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in his work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns in connection and trust; it can help people understand difficulties with closeness, abandonment fears, and relationship patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, non-directive stance in which the client’s experience leads the work; it supports self-exploration, self-esteem, and personal growth by valuing the client’s perspective. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and offers practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, low mood, stress, and unhelpful thinking.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Stuart works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their goals, needs, and preferences. He adapts techniques over time as the relationship and work evolve.
Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals and therapists through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to arrange sessions around work, family, or other commitments and to continue work across distances, while preserving the conversational and practical elements of face-to-face counselling.
