Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. It is useful for managing anxiety, stress, and life transitions by focusing on what matters most rather than trying to eliminate uncomfortable experiences. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies to change patterns that maintain distress. CBT can be effective for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating difficulties, and many everyday problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasises a warm, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship that supports self-exploration and personal growth; it can be particularly helpful for building self-esteem, improving communication and navigating relationship or identity concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Laura Nelson works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods feel most helpful based on their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time to fit each person’s circumstances.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging provides flexibility for busy schedules, reduces travel time and makes it easier to access consistent support from home or elsewhere. These options allow registered professionals and therapists to offer continuity of care in ways that suit a client’s daily life and communication style.
