Therapeutic approaches and online support
Dr. Laura Stoops regularly uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on empathetic listening and creating a supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace; this approach is helpful for building self-awareness and working through relationship or life transition issues. She also employs cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and develop skills to manage symptoms like anxiety and low mood. In addition she draws on psychodynamic therapy to explore how past relationships and patterns may influence current difficulties, which can be useful for understanding long-standing issues around attachment and intimacy.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Stoops works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adapts the work over time as those needs evolve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and there are options for live chat or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable, while working with registered professionals and therapists who tailor support to individual circumstances.
