Practical therapeutic approaches for online therapy
Karen draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and develop practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety or low mood. CBT focuses on short-term, goal-oriented work that can provide tools for coping with stress and changing unhelpful habits.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to concentrate on clients’ strengths and immediate steps toward desired change. This approach is future-oriented and works well for people who want to clarify goals and build on small, achievable solutions to everyday problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Karen works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions so clients can try different techniques and decide what feels most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to connect across distances. These options support continuity of care and allow registered professionals to provide consistent guidance and practical support in ways that suit each person’s lifestyle.
