How Therapeutic Approaches Translate to Online Support

Joanne (Jo) Warren draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and EMDR to tailor online sessions to each person’s needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space so people can explore their own solutions and priorities - it can be helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions. CBT is a structured approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and unhelpful patterns people want to change. EMDR is a trauma-informed method that uses guided processing to reduce the impact of distressing memories and supports recovery from traumatic events.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Joanne works collaboratively with clients and with registered professionals when appropriate to identify the best fit based on personal goals, preferences, and progress. She adapts methods over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for each individual.

Online therapy with Joanne is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, allow continuity when travel is difficult, and give people choice in how they engage in the work with their therapist.
