Practical therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Roy integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into online work to help clients identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practice concrete strategies to manage symptoms such as anxiety, low mood, or stress. CBT typically focuses on structured exercises and collaborative goal-setting to develop skills that can be used between sessions.He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to support clients in exploring and processing strong emotions and improving connection in relationships. EFT helps people recognize emotional patterns, deepen emotional awareness, and work toward more secure, responsive interactions with partners and family.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Roy works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. He aims to balance practical tools with space for emotional exploration.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for clients with busy schedules, different time zones, or mobility constraints. These options make it easier to attend consistently, try different session formats, and maintain momentum between meetings while working toward meaningful change.
