Therapeutic approaches for online care
Sharon uses client-centered work to create a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s own goals and experiences guide the therapy. This approach focuses on listening, validating feelings, and helping people build self-understanding, which can be especially helpful for issues like grief, relationship difficulties, and self-esteem concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours. CBT is practical and structured, often useful for anxiety, depression, stress management, and coping with life changes.
Hypnotherapy is offered as an additional tool for accessing focused relaxation and reducing symptoms such as disturbed sleep, anxiety or strong habitual reactions. When appropriate, it is combined with other approaches to support change in ways that feel comfortable for the client.
Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Sharon works together with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses. Registered professionals and therapists can deliver these methods effectively through remote formats.
Online therapy provides flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, allow people to connect from different locations, and support consistency in ongoing work regardless of schedule or travel constraints.
