Online approaches for practical, collaborative care

Nicola often draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a supportive, non-judgmental space where the person’s own perspective guides the pace and goals of therapy - it is useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship struggles, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, involves identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to manage symptoms - it is commonly used for stress, anxiety, anger, sleep difficulties, and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nicola works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the plan as therapy progresses and combining techniques where helpful.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other commitments. These options make it easier to access registered professionals from different locations, try different session formats, and maintain continuity of care when life requires more adaptable scheduling.
