Approaches in online therapy and how they help
Denise Richards draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers empathetic support - this approach is helpful for strengthening self-understanding and building confidence. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured method that looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and helps people develop practical skills to manage anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns. Psychodynamic therapy is another element of her work, exploring how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence current relationships and reactions, which can bring deeper insight for issues that feel repetitive.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Denise aims to collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and effective. The choice of approach is a shared decision that evolves with progress.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging - so people can attend sessions from different locations and around varied schedules. These options can make consistent support easier to maintain while still allowing for meaningful therapeutic work with registered professionals and therapists.
