Therapeutic approaches for online relationship work
Colette integrates several evidence-informed approaches to support relationship and personal growth. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed action - it can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy places the client's experience at the heart of the work, using empathetic listening and reflection to foster self-exploration and self-acceptance - this approach supports issues like self-esteem and decision-making. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotional patterns in relationships, helping partners and individuals understand attachment needs and reshape interactional cycles to strengthen bonds.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Colette works collaboratively with clients and registered professionals to identify which methods best match a person’s needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts the work as understanding deepens.
Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging offer practical flexibility - they make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity when schedules change, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for discussing sensitive relationship issues with a therapist.
