Therapeutic approaches and adaptable online support

Cheri Gillings draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide her online work. ACT focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and committing to meaningful actions - it can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and motivation struggles. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and genuine relational support, creating space for clients to explore their feelings and build self-understanding. CBT offers structured techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and managing stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Cheri works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative exploration helps ensure the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online sessions - via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from home or work. These flexible options allow ongoing contact, convenience in scheduling, and the ability to choose the format that feels most comfortable for the individual while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
