Therapeutic Approaches Delivered Through Online Care
Sarah Leonard integrates several evidence-informed methods when working online, adapting each approach to the individual's needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person as a whole and creating a supportive, empathetic space where goals are set collaboratively - it is helpful for people seeking a respectful, nondirective approach to personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties because it provides practical strategies and structured exercises. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships - it can be especially useful for intense mood swings, difficulties managing strong emotions, and interpersonal conflicts.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sarah works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods best match their goals, preferences, and daily life, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. That collaborative process helps ensure therapy stays relevant and manageable.
Online therapy with Sarah is available by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and lifestyles. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact, access support from home or work, and continue therapy during life's transitions while maintaining the same therapeutic focus and professional standards offered by registered professionals.
