Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting relationship where the client leads the pace and direction of sessions. It emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and listening to help people explore identity, values, and emotional experience, making it suitable for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns.Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on understanding the impact of traumatic experiences and developing practical strategies to manage triggers and symptoms. It aims to help people process difficult memories and build coping skills for conditions such as PTSD, complex trauma, and abuse-related distress.
Solution-focused therapy is a brief, goal-oriented approach that helps clients identify strengths and practical steps toward change. It is especially useful for addressing immediate problems, improving coping, and setting concrete goals for anxiety, stress, or behavioural adjustments.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lisa works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This shared decision-making helps tailor work to each person’s priorities.
Online therapy offers flexible access to support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to engage from different locations and fit sessions around work, family, and daily life while maintaining continuity of care with a registered professional.
