Therapeutic approaches and online support

Joanne draws on cognitive behavioural therapy and client-centred approaches to tailor online work to each person’s needs. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns in thoughts and behaviours and working to develop practical strategies that reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Client-centred therapy emphasises empathetic listening and a non-judgemental therapeutic relationship, helping people explore feelings, build self-understanding, and find their own solutions. An attachment-based perspective can also be used to examine how early relational patterns shape current relationships and to support change in connection and intimacy.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is done collaboratively. Joanne will work with each person to identify which methods best match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring to therapy, adjusting the approach as the work progresses.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility and accessibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limits. These options make it easier to receive regular support, fit therapy around study or work commitments, and maintain continuity of care when in-person attendance is difficult.
