Approaches that guide online care
Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the centre of the work, emphasising empathy, acceptance, and the client’s own capacity for growth. It helps when someone needs to explore feelings, build self-esteem, or process loss without being judged. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours; it teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage low mood, and interrupt unhelpful thinking patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy is brief and goal-oriented, concentrating on strengths and small, achievable steps to move forward, which can be useful for addressing specific problems or transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lorraine McDonnell works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the approach as the work progresses so therapy stays relevant and effective for the individual.
Offering sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging makes therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives. These options allow clients to choose formats that suit their comfort level and schedule, making consistent support more accessible while retaining a focus on meaningful progress.
