Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s priorities and helps the individual explore feelings and values - useful for self-esteem, relationship concerns, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, structured approach that helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and develop skills to manage anxiety, depression, and panic more effectively. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and achievable steps, encouraging clients to build on what works and set realistic goals for change.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative: Peter works with each person to identify which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences, and adapts the plan as progress unfolds. He views therapy as a shared process of discovery and skill-building.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support into a busy life or connect across distances. Registered professionals can use these formats to deliver consistent, accessible care while tailoring pacing and contact style to each client’s circumstances.
