Client-focused approaches for online therapy

Ruth employs client-centered therapy and motivational interviewing as core approaches in her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and supporting the client’s own capacity for insight and growth; it can be especially helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, grief, and navigating personal change. Motivational interviewing focuses on exploring and resolving ambivalence to support commitment to change - a useful approach for clients facing decisions about relationships, career moves, or other life transitions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Ruth collaborates with each person to identify what feels most helpful, adapting techniques to the client’s goals, preferences, and pace so the process remains practical and goal-oriented.

Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility, allowing clients to connect by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to continue support across different locations, and to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working with a registered professional.
