Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Attachment-based work focuses on how early connection patterns shape current relationships. It helps people identify recurring relationship patterns and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and build routines that reduce anxiety and improve sleep.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to concerns, discuss goals, and suggest methods that fit each person's needs and preferences. Together they’ll try approaches and adjust the plan based on what is helpful and what feels manageable.

Online sessions offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients share thoughts between sessions and get ongoing reminders or reflections. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or school routines.
