Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support and Connection
Karen draws on client-centered therapy, Jungian therapy, and mindfulness therapy to support people in an online setting. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic environment where the client leads the pace of work and explores personal goals - it helps with stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. Jungian therapy attends to personal meaning, patterns, and deeper themes that shape a person’s life and can be useful for exploring identity, life purpose, and recurring relationship dynamics. Mindfulness therapy teaches practical attention and grounding skills to help manage overwhelming emotions and improve everyday coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Karen works collaboratively with clients and other registered professionals to identify the methods that best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy feels relevant and manageable.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and for people who live at a distance. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of support, fit sessions into daily life, and access therapists from different locations while working toward meaningful change.
