Approaches for connection and change in online therapy
James North draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tailor online work to each person’s needs. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people develop more secure ways of relating and managing abandonment or attachment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s experience, offering empathic listening and acceptance so individuals can find their own solutions and build confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve day-to-day functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and James works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. He adapts techniques over time so the work remains relevant and effective for each person.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or to continue work while located abroad. These options support regular engagement, allow for different communication styles, and help maintain continuity of care even when schedules or locations change.
