Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Hilary draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based techniques to support clients online. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an empathic, accepting relationship in which the person’s own goals guide the work; this approach is helpful for building self-awareness, confidence and a stronger sense of agency. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress and to build practical coping skills. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-focused awareness and gentle acceptance of difficult emotions, which can reduce rumination and improve emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Hilary works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts the plan as work progresses to ensure a good fit. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so sessions remain focused and useful.
Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules, reduce travel time and make it easier to access regular support. These options allow Hilary to deliver the same thoughtful, goal-oriented care remotely, helping clients maintain continuity and momentum in their work.
