Therapeutic Approaches for Online Sessions
Alexandra draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and developing practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, stress, and related difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current patterns of relating and can be especially helpful for attachment issues, intimacy-related concerns, abandonment, and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work, offering empathic listening and collaboration to build self-awareness, confidence, and emotional resilience.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Alexandra works collaboratively with each person to find the best fit. She will discuss goals, preferences, and needs and adapt methods so that sessions feel relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives or to access support from different locations. Registered professionals can work effectively online to provide structured therapy, reflective listening, and practical strategies tailored to each person’s circumstances.
