Therapeutic Approaches for Effective Online Support

Claire uses client-centered therapy to place the person at the heart of the process - this approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and acceptance so individuals can explore their feelings and find their own solutions, which can help with low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and general emotional distress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours; it is practical and goal-oriented and can be helpful for anxiety, panic, stress, and depressive symptoms. Trauma-focused therapy offers targeted tools to work through the impact of traumatic experiences at a pace agreed with the client and can support recovery from abuse, assault, and other traumatic events.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Claire works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals and will adapt methods over time so the plan fits each person’s circumstances and progress. This shared decision-making helps ensure therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy with Claire is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These remote options make it easier to access regular support without travel, and they allow clients to choose the format that best suits their daily life while working with a registered professional.
