Therapeutic approaches for online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships and attachment patterns shape current emotional responses and relationship dynamics. It can be helpful for people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, intimacy concerns, and patterns that repeat in close relationships.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance and collaboration, placing the client at the center of the process. This approach supports people who are working on self-esteem, identity, life changes, and emotional clarity by creating a respectful space for their experience to be heard.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors while building practical coping strategies. It is often used for anxiety, panic attacks, mood difficulties, and behavioural patterns that affect daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Lucy will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts her style as the work unfolds.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offer practical flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives or across time zones. Registered professionals can deliver these approaches effectively by maintaining continuity, regular check-ins and tailored interventions that suit how the client prefers to engage.
