Approaches for Online Therapy and Remote Support



Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a warm, accepting environment where the individual’s own perspective guides the work. This approach helps when someone needs space to explore feelings, build self-understanding, and strengthen self-worth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and supports practical strategies to manage symptoms such as anxiety, low mood, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle attention to thoughts and sensations, which can be useful for regulating emotion and reducing rumination.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Petra works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Registered professionals and therapists often blend techniques so the work aligns with what matters most to the client.

Online formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make that collaborative work more flexible. These options can fit around busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow people to engage from wherever they feel most comfortable, while still receiving structured, professional support.
