How Deborah's approaches adapt to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, empathetic space where the client feels heard and respected. In this approach the therapist follows the client’s lead, offering understanding and encouragement to help people explore their feelings and discover their own solutions - it is often helpful for relationship issues, grief and building self-esteem.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a practical, structured approach that helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and develop alternative ways of thinking and coping. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress and compulsive patterns because it provides concrete strategies to reduce distress and support change.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Deborah works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best. She will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and adapt methods as therapy progresses so the work aligns with the client’s priorities.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or those living some distance from services. These options allow clients to access supportive, registered professionals from home or elsewhere, making it easier to maintain continuity of care and fit sessions into everyday life.
