Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Deon commonly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in his work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they shape current connections, helping people who struggle with abandonment, trust, or close relationships to understand and shift those patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic relationship in which the therapist follows the client's lead, supporting personal growth, self-esteem, and clearer decision making. He also integrates EMDR when appropriate to address distressing memories and the lingering effects of trauma, using guided eye movement or other bilateral stimulation to process overwhelming experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Deon collaborates with each person to determine what fits best based on their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. He adapts methods over time so therapy remains responsive and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by registered professionals and therapists and make it easier to access care from different locations. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, online work can offer flexibility around schedules, reduce travel time, and allow continuity of support during life transitions or when in-person options are limited.
