Online therapy approaches and how they help

Esra uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small changes in behaviour to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines. This approach often helps with worry, sleep problems and mood difficulties.

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) for people who are processing traumatic memories; EMDR aims to reduce the intensity of those memories through a structured set of techniques. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, listen to your goals and agree on methods that fit your situation and preferences so the plan feels manageable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow a fuller conversation with visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or movement is limited. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick updates and people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel while keeping contact consistent with agreed rhythms.
