Online support

Approaches that fit online care

Alison draws on client-centered therapy to make sessions focused on the person’s priorities and strengths, helping them shape goals that feel manageable. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and practice concrete skills for worry, low mood, and behavior change. She also incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when working through distressing memories, offering a paced approach to reduce their immediate emotional intensity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alison will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try methods that suit the situation, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The aim is to find practical tools that fit the person’s life and make steady improvements possible.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction for full conversation and experiential exercises. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing reflection and brief exchanges between synchronous sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
