Client-Centered and Solution-Focused Support Online
Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the process, offering a non-directive, empathetic space where the client leads the conversation and explores their thoughts and feelings. This approach is helpful for building self-awareness, improving self-esteem, and working through personal and relational concerns.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying strengths and practical steps to move forward, focusing on achievable goals and small changes that create momentum. It is often useful for managing stress, navigating life transitions, and resolving specific relationship or practical problems.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work and will be a collaborative process. Registered professionals and therapists like Kim will discuss options, adapt methods to the client’s needs, and agree on a plan that aligns with the client's goals and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to work with a therapist from home or other convenient locations. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, family, and daily commitments while maintaining consistent therapeutic support.
