Approaches that guide online therapy and what to expect
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic relationship where the client’s own goals shape the work; it is often helpful for issues like self-esteem, grief, relationship challenges, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify and shift unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping challenges. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and small, achievable steps toward change, making it well suited to people seeking focused, short-term progress on specific concerns.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Sandra will work together with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps ensure the work feels relevant and supportive.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility - it can fit around work, caregiving, or mobility needs and enables consistent access to registered professionals from different locations. These options allow people to engage in therapy in ways that suit their daily life while maintaining a therapeutic focus and continuity of care.
