How Lisa’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own concerns and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens with attention, reflects what she hears and helps the person uncover their own solutions. It suits people who want space to be heard and to work through feelings at their own pace.Trauma-focused therapy targets how past experiences affect present life. It involves gently looking at memories and patterns that keep causing pain, and building ways to reduce their impact day to day. This approach is aimed at people whose past events continue to shape their relationships, mood or coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will discuss goals, try different ways of working and agree a plan together. That collaborative process helps to pick methods that match the person’s needs and preferences rather than imposing a single route.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and closer rapport, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or illness and allow people to keep continuity of care when travel is difficult.
