Therapeutic approaches tailored for online support
Joanne draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which emphasises empathy, nonjudgemental listening and supporting a person to explore their own goals. This approach is helpful for depression, self-esteem concerns, bereavement and for people who want a reflective, supportive space to understand their feelings.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - a structured, skill-based approach that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and develop practical strategies to manage anxiety, stress, sleep problems and mood challenges. CBT can be particularly useful when someone is looking for clear tools to reduce symptoms and build coping skills.
Attachment-Based Therapy is used when relationship patterns, intimacy or early attachment experiences are central to a person’s difficulties. This work explores relational patterns and helps people develop healthier ways of relating to others and to themselves.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Joanne works with each person to understand their needs, goals and preferences and adapts methods accordingly so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging offers flexibility for different schedules and life demands. These formats make it possible to access support from home or between commitments, and licensed professionals can adapt their style to make online sessions effective and practical for each person.
