Online support

How these approaches work in online sessions

Deirdre uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often involves setting small experiments or practice tasks to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can reduce anxiety and lift mood over time.

She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing exercises that calm the body and clear the mind. Mindfulness can be useful for stress, panic symptoms, and ongoing physical or emotional pain by shifting how moments are experienced.

Finding the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try approaches that fit. Sessions are collaborative and adjustments are made based on what helps most in real life.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can suit people who prefer shorter, more frequent check-ins or who want written reflections to revisit later. These options help therapy fit into busy schedules and varied routines.
