Approaches that guide online therapy and practical support

Joanne integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside relational approaches to tailor support to each person. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a compassionate, non-directive space where the client’s perspectives and goals steer the work - this approach is helpful for building self-esteem, exploring identity, and processing life transitions. CBT offers structured, skills-based techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, making it useful for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. Imago Relationship Therapy informs her work with couples and families by exploring how early patterns shape current interactions and helping partners communicate more effectively.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Joanne collaborates with clients to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines reflective exploration with practical strategies and revisits the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with Joanne is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving roles, or mobility limitations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and integrate therapy into everyday life while working toward meaningful change.
