Therapeutic Approaches and Benefits of Online Therapy
Joelma integrates Existential Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy into her work to help clients explore meaning, manage emotional distress, and understand patterns from the past. Existential Therapy invites clients to reflect on values, choice, and life purpose, which can be useful when facing major transitions or questions about direction. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on building present-moment awareness and practical strategies for managing stress and anxiety, helping clients reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. Psychodynamic Therapy explores how early relationships and unconscious patterns influence current behavior and relationships, offering insight for those dealing with attachment issues, repeated relationship difficulties, or longstanding emotional pain.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Joelma works with each person to identify the methods that best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as work unfolds so therapy remains relevant and effective. This shared decision-making helps ensure that the therapeutic path aligns with what the client hopes to achieve.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, connect across distances, and maintain continuity of care during life changes, while allowing registered professionals to provide focused support in ways that suit each client.
