Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Carryn draws on client-centered therapy, emotionally-focused therapy, and hypnotherapy to tailor support to each person's needs. Client-centered therapy centers on the individual - the therapist offers empathic listening and reflection so clients can explore their feelings and values, which is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, stress, and life transitions. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) helps people understand and shift patterns in close relationships by identifying underlying emotions and improving emotional connection - it can be useful for relationship difficulties, attachment concerns, and intimacy-related issues. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to access thoughts and associations that may be contributing to habits or emotional patterns, and can be applied alongside other methods for issues such as anxiety, sleep problems, and coping with change.Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Carryn collaborates with each person to determine which methods feel most appropriate for their goals, preferences, and situation, and she adjusts her approach as therapy progresses so the plan remains responsive and practical.
Online therapy with Carryn is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people juggling work, family, or other responsibilities. These remote options make it easier to access regular support from registered professionals and therapists without needing to travel, while allowing sessions to fit into a busy life.
