Therapeutic approaches for effective online support

Brenda integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Motivational Interviewing to support people working through emotional and behavioural challenges. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel understood and able to explore their concerns at their own pace - it is helpful for relationship issues, self-esteem, and feelings of isolation. CBT offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, making it useful for anxiety, low mood, stress, and many everyday problems. Motivational Interviewing helps people who feel uncertain or stuck by strengthening their own motivation to change - this approach is often used with addictions, habit change, and when someone wants support building commitment or confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Brenda works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best with their goals, needs, and preferences. She tailors sessions so techniques are relevant and accessible rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy with Brenda is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit support into a busy life and to connect from different locations. These options provide flexibility in how and when people access therapy while keeping the focus on consistent, goal-oriented work with a registered professional.
