Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Dr. Mary “Em” Ryan draws on evidence-informed approaches to tailor work to each person’s goals. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to clarify their values and take meaningful action while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings - it is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms and build practical coping skills, which can support mood, worry, sleep, and motivation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasises empathy, acceptance, and the therapeutic relationship itself - this approach helps people feel heard and fosters self-understanding, useful for issues like self-esteem, relationship struggles, and grief.Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Registered professionals and therapists work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, preferences, and goals, and adjust the plan as therapy progresses. Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging - making it easier to access support from different locations and at times that suit a busy life. This variety helps people maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
