Client-Centered Care Delivered Online

Client-centered therapy places the client at the heart of the work, with the therapist offering empathic listening and non-judgmental support to help the individual explore their own values, choices, and strengths. This approach is particularly helpful for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship or family concerns, and life transitions because it builds on what the client already knows about themselves.

Helana works collaboratively with each person to identify what matters most and to shape sessions around personal goals and preferences. Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and she will work together with clients to determine the best fit based on needs, goals, and how they prefer to engage with therapy.

Online therapy options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access consistent support from registered professionals and therapists. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling and allow people to continue therapeutic work from home or wherever they feel comfortable, while maintaining the relational focus of the client-centered approach.
