How therapeutic approaches translate to online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and learn practical ways to act in line with what matters to them while responding differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and situations where avoidance limits life choices. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a non-judgmental, empathic space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers reflection and support - this approach is especially helpful for building self-esteem, exploring personal goals, and repairing relationship dynamics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete strategies to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, and is often applied to anxiety, depression, and everyday coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Behnam treats the choice of method as collaborative - he will work with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals and may integrate elements from different approaches to create a tailored plan. This collaborative process helps ensure that therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect with registered professionals. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction from home, phone sessions provide a simple audio option, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit those who prefer written interaction or need more frequent, brief check-ins. These options make it easier to access consistent support while fitting therapy into daily life.
