Approaches that guide online therapy and flexible session options

Elizabeth blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques to support people in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an empathic, non-judgmental space where the client's perspective guides the work - this approach is helpful for improving self-esteem, exploring relationships and navigating life changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop alternative skills for managing anxiety, depression, stress and sleep difficulties. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and coping practices that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation, useful for trauma-related symptoms, compassion fatigue and everyday stress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Elizabeth works with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting techniques as therapy progresses so the work remains practical and personally relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible options - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - that make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives or to access support from different locations. Registered professionals can deliver meaningful therapeutic work through these formats, allowing clients to maintain continuity of care while choosing the communication style that feels most comfortable.
