How client-centred and existential approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following what the client says is important. In an online session the counsellor gives space for people to lead the conversation and reflects back what he hears to help clarify feelings and goals.Existential therapy looks at meaning, values and life choices. Online conversations using this approach often involve open questions about what matters, and time spent thinking through options, responsibilities and the kind of life someone wants to build.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will work with the client to decide whether a person-centred style, an existential focus, or a mix of both fits best. This is reviewed over the first few sessions so therapy can be adjusted to the client’s aims and preferences.
The practical benefits of online therapy include greater flexibility to fit sessions around work and family life and fewer travel demands. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or regular weekly meetings without rearranging a full day.
