Evidence-based techniques for effective online support

Joanne draws on evidence-based techniques that focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building practical coping skills. This kind of cognitive and skills-based work helps people manage symptoms of stress, anxiety, low mood, and workplace-related difficulties by teaching clear strategies to reframe thoughts and respond differently to challenging situations.

She also offers supportive grief-focused work that helps clients process loss, explore strong emotions, and gradually rebuild daily routines and connection. That approach is tailored to each person’s experience and paced to what feels manageable in the moment.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Joanne approaches this collaboratively. She will listen to a client’s goals, preferences, and needs, and together they will decide which techniques to try and how to adapt them over time.

Online therapy with Joanne is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit sessions around work, family, and daily life. These options make it easier to access support from registered professionals without travel, and they allow therapy to continue when in-person appointments are not convenient.
