Client-centered approaches and online access

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist supports clients in exploring their own values and solutions. This approach is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem work, and building emotional awareness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and patterns of behaviour, offering practical tools for issues such as anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviours. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce stress and improve emotional regulation, which can help with rumination, sleep difficulties, and coping after trauma.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens collaboratively. Jonathan will work with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and needs, and will tailor techniques from these approaches to fit the client s situation and pace.

Online therapy options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of support during life transitions. Licensed professionals can adapt these methods effectively in remote formats, offering flexibility while focusing on practical, goal-oriented work.
