Practical approaches and online support
Steve Barber draws on several established methods to guide online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully and valuing the client’s perspective; it helps people who need a supportive space to explore feelings, identity and relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviors and offers practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful patterns. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative method that helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build motivation, especially helpful for addictions and behaviour change.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Steve Barber works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and he adapts the plan over time as progress is made.
Online therapy with registered professionals and therapists offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different lifestyles and needs. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into busy routines, maintain continuity through life changes, and access support from familiar surroundings.
