Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It is practical and skills-based, commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress and difficulties with sleep or coping with life changes.
Client-Centered Therapy prioritises the person’s own perspective and resources, offering empathic, non-directive support to build self-understanding and confidence. This approach can be especially helpful for self-esteem, relationship concerns and navigating transitions.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current ways of relating to others, which can be useful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns and family dynamics. In online sessions these themes can be explored through reflective conversation and relational exercises.
Choosing the most helpful approach is part of the therapeutic process. Seyma works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, goals and preferences and to adapt methods so they fit the person’s situation and values. That collaborative planning helps ensure therapy remains relevant and effective.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or living in a different country. These options increase accessibility and make it simpler to maintain continuity of care across changing schedules and locations.
