Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support
Tim McLoughlin uses several established approaches to help people work through difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, non-judgmental relationship in which the therapist offers empathy and support to help clients explore their own goals and values, useful for relationship issues, self-esteem, and life transitions. Mindfulness Therapy draws on simple attention and awareness practices to help people relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings, supporting coping with stress, grief, and ongoing emotional challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tim works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques from these approaches to create a tailored plan rather than applying a single model by default.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or those living at a distance. These formats make it easier to access support from registered professionals and therapists without needing to travel, and they allow sessions to fit into a person's life in a practical, consistent way.
