Approaches That Guide Online Care

Dr. Kobe Akanmu draws on several evidence-informed approaches to support clients through online sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the person feels heard and accepted - this helps when exploring self-esteem, identity, grief, and relational concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works with the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours to develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress-related difficulties. Psychodynamic Therapy helps people uncover recurring patterns and unconscious factors that shape relationships and emotional responses, which can be helpful for attachment issues, family of origin concerns, and longstanding interpersonal problems.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Akanmu works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then adapts techniques and pacing so therapy matches the client’s needs. This flexibility supports meaningful progress while respecting individual differences.

Online therapy with Dr. Akanmu is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving clients choice in how they connect. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, access care from home, and maintain continuity of support across changing circumstances. Registered professionals and therapists can work effectively through these formats to address a wide range of emotional and relational difficulties.
