Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it encourages action guided by personal values - useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, often used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills for addictions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a compassionate, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist offers empathy and support while clients explore their own solutions for relationship, identity, and self-esteem concerns.

Mairi works collaboratively to find the best therapeutic fit; assessing a person’s needs, goals, and preferences is part of the process and helps guide whether ACT, CBT, client-centered work, or a blend will be most helpful. This exploration is a shared effort between therapist and client.

Online sessions - by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from home or other convenient locations. These options offer flexibility in scheduling and communication style, allowing registered professionals to tailor the format to what works best for each person.
