Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support with Cheri Gillings
Cheri commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and commit to actions that align with what matters most - it can be useful for stress, anxiety and life transitions. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns by teaching practical skills for coping and problem solving - it is often used for anxiety, low mood and managing addictive behaviours.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Cheri works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts her style over time so therapy remains relevant and practical.
Online therapy with Cheri is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options allow people to engage from different locations and schedules, maintain continuity of support during busy periods, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for them. Registered professionals and therapists can use these remote formats to deliver structured, goal-oriented work while keeping sessions focused on the client’s priorities.
