Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care
Stephen integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Mindfulness-based techniques to support clients online. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-directive environment where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers empathy and unconditional positive regard - this approach can help with relationship issues, self-esteem, and finding clarity during life transitions. CBT is a structured, goal-oriented method that examines how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact; it is helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and unhelpful patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and gentle acceptance of experience, which can reduce chronic stress, improve emotional regulation, and support coping with persistent worry.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Stephen works collaboratively with clients to identify the methods that best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and he adapts the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and manageable.
Online appointments by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility and accessibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or those living at a distance. These formats allow registered professionals and therapists to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into real-life commitments, and use a variety of communication styles to meet individual preferences.
