Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist supports self-discovery; it can be especially helpful for issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured ways to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, making it a practical option for anxiety, stress, low mood, and some aspects of ADHD. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and workable steps toward goals, helping clients build momentum when facing parenting challenges, family conflicts, or grief.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Valerie works with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may blend elements from different approaches as the work progresses. This collaborative method ensures therapy stays relevant and responsive.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for people with busy schedules, limited local options, or those who prefer remote access. Registered professionals and therapists can deliver effective, goal-oriented support using these formats, allowing clients to engage from wherever they are and to choose the interaction style that suits them best.
