Therapeutic approaches suited to online care
Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. It involves a non-directive, empathic stance where the therapist listens carefully and supports the client’s own exploration of feelings and goals - helpful for grief, identity and relationship concerns.Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of traumatic events by helping people process distressing memories and reduce their day-to-day impact. It uses structured techniques to stabilize reactions and gradually work through trauma-related material in a paced way.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and replacing them with more adaptive strategies. It is practical and skills-based, often useful for anxiety, stress and low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Klara works collaboratively with clients and with other registered professionals as needed to identify which methods fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts plans as work progresses.
Online therapy by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people juggling work, family or health constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access timely support and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward meaningful change.
