Approaches and remote support for therapy
Karen combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered work alongside mindfulness-based techniques to support people online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps individuals identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and is often applied to issues such as anxiety, depression, stress and addictive behaviours. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic environment where the person’s own goals and pace guide the work - it is useful for building self-awareness, self-esteem and addressing relationship or identity concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches practical attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation, which can help with stress, trauma symptoms and everyday overwhelm.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the therapeutic process. A registered professional will work collaboratively with the client to clarify goals, preferences and needs, then adapt methods as therapy progresses to find the best fit.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging provide flexibility for people juggling work, family or mobility constraints, and make it easier to access therapists from different locations. These formats allow for regular contact, tailored pacing and a variety of tools to support progress in a way that fits each person’s life.
