Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-centered therapy focuses on the individual’s experience, offering a supportive space where the therapist follows the client’s lead to explore feelings, values, and goals; it is often used for matters like self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and practice practical strategies to manage symptoms such as anxiety and low mood; it is action-oriented and useful for building coping skills. Solution-focused therapy emphasises strengths and small, achievable changes, helping clients move toward specific goals by identifying what already works and amplifying those steps.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Stilyana Massey works collaboratively with clients and registered professionals to determine which methods best fit an individual’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the approach as therapy progresses.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or health needs. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from different locations, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable, while still allowing therapists and clients to work effectively toward the client’s goals.
