Collaborative therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Rachael uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive listening environment where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach focuses on empathy and understanding to help people explore feelings, clarify values, and build self-trust, and it is useful for issues such as grief, identity, and relationship concerns.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and to develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, and stress. CBT offers structured tools that clients can use between sessions to track progress and change routines.

Motivational Interviewing is used when people are ambivalent about change, for example with addictions or lifestyle shifts. This approach helps clients find their own motivation and set realistic, personally meaningful goals.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Rachael works collaboratively with clients and with registered professionals when appropriate to determine which methods best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging increase flexibility and access to care. These options let clients fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for engaging in the work.
