Therapeutic approaches that work well online
Vernon commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in online work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than getting pulled into avoidance. CBT focuses on identifying thought and behaviour patterns and practising new, healthier ways of responding to stress and low mood.He also draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas to create a steady therapeutic relationship. Attachment-informed work looks at how past relationships shape current reactions, while Client-Centred therapy prioritises listening and helping the person feel heard. Vernon aims to collaborate with each person to pick the approaches that fit their goals and style of working.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier on low bandwidth, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for people juggling work, family or travel, and they help match the mode of contact to what feels most manageable.
