Therapeutic approaches for online support

Jennifer often uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try new responses to reduce anxiety or low mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy aims to help people process distressing experiences and reduce the hold those memories have on everyday life.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that match the client's needs and adjust them as therapy progresses so the work feels relevant and doable.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video calls are useful for deeper, face-to-face conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can work well for check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or when someone prefers typing to speaking. These options aim to give flexibility and keep therapy accessible across different schedules and situations.
