How these approaches can work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The counsellor follows the person’s lead, mirrors what they say and helps them feel heard. This approach is useful for people who need understanding and emotional support.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. It breaks issues into small steps and uses practical tools to change thinking patterns and actions. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, cravings and managing urges.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily feelings without reacting. Short mindfulness exercises can reduce stress and improve focus, and they often fit into day-to-day life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and decide together which methods make the most sense. This collaborative decision is reviewed as therapy progresses.

Online sessions can also allow for shorter check-ins, use of worksheets between meetings, and the convenience of joining from different locations when needed.
