Therapeutic approaches and online therapy options
Elsa often works with Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy and supporting each person’s own process of growth; this approach is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns and emotional recovery. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, often benefiting those coping with anxiety, stress and mood challenges. Mindfulness Therapy is incorporated to teach grounding and awareness skills that reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation in everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Elsa approaches that choice collaboratively. Registered professionals and therapists work together with clients to decide which methods fit best based on goals, preferences and the specifics of the concern, and adjustments are made over time as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options allow clients to receive consistent support from home, while fitting therapy into busy schedules, travel constraints or long-distance arrangements with international therapists and providers.
