Therapeutic approaches adapted for online support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-directive space where the client’s perspective guides the work. It helps people explore their feelings and values, build self-awareness, and strengthen confidence in making choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical strategies to change thoughts and behaviours; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problem-solving. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to access resources within the mind and support change in habits, motivation, or emotional responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Barbara works collaboratively with clients and with other registered professionals when appropriate to determine which methods best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted as progress and priorities become clearer.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people attend sessions. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions suit those who prefer voice contact, and live chat or text-based messaging provides a way to work in shorter, written exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to access support from different locations while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship with a trained therapist.
