Approaches to Online Therapy and What to Expect



Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship that helps clients explore their feelings and values. It is useful for people seeking empathy, validation, and personal growth during life transitions, grief, or self-esteem work.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and practical problem-solving after addiction or in recovery.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the emotional and psychological impact of traumatic experiences by offering structured approaches to process memories and reduce their ongoing influence on daily life. It can be relevant for survivors of abuse, assault, or other traumatic events.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Registered professionals and therapists work collaboratively with each client to select or combine methods that match the client's needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling, easier access for those with mobility or geographic limits, and options to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable. These formats can support consistent, effective engagement while fitting around work, caregiving, and day-to-day life. Dawn is not currently accepting new clients, but these are the ways she works when available.
