Therapeutic Approaches for Online Counselling
Jurgen commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when working online. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful actions - it is useful for anxiety, depression, and navigating life changes. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client’s experience, offering empathic listening and support so individuals can explore their feelings and arrive at their own solutions, which can be especially helpful for grief, low self-esteem, and relational issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, providing practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jurgen works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the work as therapy progresses so the client and therapist can find the best path together.
Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility, allowing clients to meet by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access support from home. Registered professionals and therapists can adapt their methods effectively across these formats to help clients work toward meaningful change.
