Approach-Led Online Support and Therapeutic Practice
Sam draws on attachment-based therapy, client-centered therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to guide online work. Attachment-based therapy explores patterns of relating and emotional bonds, helping people understand how early relationships shape current difficulties and improving connection and trust. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathic listening and the client’s own goals, offering a nonjudgmental space to explore feelings and build self-understanding. CBT offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress management.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sam works collaboratively with each person to determine what best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. The therapeutic plan can be adjusted over time so that methods align with what the client finds most helpful.
Online therapy with Sam is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These remote options make it possible to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations, helping integrate therapy into busy lives while maintaining continuity of care.
