Therapeutic approaches for flexible online support

Constance integrates client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening without judgment and helping people explore their feelings and values so they can find their own solutions. This approach is useful for building self-awareness, strengthening self-esteem, and working through relational and identity concerns.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and to develop practical skills for coping with anxiety, low mood, and everyday stressors. CBT is action-oriented and often includes specific strategies that can be practised between sessions.

Motivational interviewing is another tool in her practice, aimed at enhancing a person’s own motivation for change by exploring ambivalence and supporting commitment to goals. Together these methods allow a therapist to tailor the approach to each person’s needs in a collaborative way - the therapist and client work together to decide what fits best for the client’s goals and preferences.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into busy lives or manage therapy during transitions and caregiving responsibilities. For many people, these options increase accessibility and make sustained progress more achievable.
