Client-Centered and Solution-Focused Support Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person as the expert in their own life. In practice this means the therapist offers empathic listening, acceptance and support to help clients explore feelings, build self-awareness and make choices that align with their values. It is often helpful for people coping with anxiety, relationship difficulties and life transitions.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying strengths and practical steps toward change. Rather than dwelling on problems, this approach helps clients clarify goals, spot what is already working and build small, achievable strategies to move forward. It can be effective for addressing specific concerns and creating momentum toward change.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Joanne works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best. She will discuss options, blend methods when appropriate, and adapt sessions to the client’s needs, goals and preferences.
Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer remote support. These options make it easier to access regular sessions, maintain continuity of care and choose a format that feels most comfortable for the individual, while still working with registered professionals and qualified therapists.
