Integrating Therapeutic Approaches into Online Care
Dr. Akanmu draws on client-centred therapy to place the person’s experience at the heart of treatment, creating a collaborative space where the client’s values and perspectives guide the work and help with issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns; it offers practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress by teaching tools to reframe thoughts and develop healthier routines. Psychodynamic therapy explores recurring emotional patterns and early relationships to deepen understanding of how past experiences shape current feelings and responses, which can be helpful for trauma, attachment issues, and long-standing relational difficulties.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Dr. Akanmu works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors the approach over time so therapy stays responsive and relevant to what the client wants to achieve.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to engage from different settings and at times that fit their lives. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access licensed professionals and therapists without geographic constraints.
