Online support
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work
Joanne draws on cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in her online practice. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Acceptance and commitment therapy encourages people to clarify personal values and take small actions towards them, which often helps with motivation and coping during life changes.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Joanne will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them over time to fit the person’s needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let you see body language and hold a fuller conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging can suit shorter check-ins or when writing feels more helpful. These options help people access regular support without needing to travel.
