Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Linda Fairclough uses evidence-informed methods tailored to each person’s situation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and provide concrete coping tools. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting, empathetic relationship where the individual’s values and goals guide the work - this approach supports emotional processing, self-understanding, and longer-term growth. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on practical steps and strengths to make change more quickly, often helpful when people want targeted strategies for specific problems.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Linda works with each person to consider their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust methods over time so the work fits and feels useful. Clients and the therapist decide together what to try and how to measure progress.

Online therapy with Linda can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels.
