Approaches for Online Therapy and Emotional Work
Claudia Brooker uses a range of evidence-informed approaches to guide online therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-directive space where the client’s perspective leads the work - it is useful for building self-awareness, self-esteem and a stronger sense of personal agency. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression and stress-related difficulties and emphasizes practical strategies and skill-building. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is oriented toward relationships and attachment - it helps partners and family members understand emotional patterns and create more secure connections.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Claudia collaborates with each person to select or adapt methods that match their goals, preferences and life context. She will discuss options, monitor progress and adjust the plan as needed so treatment remains relevant and effective.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging provide flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit therapy into daily life and access licensed professionals from a setting that works for the client.
