Online support
Approaches used in online therapy and what they do
Sue-Jacqueline draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change related behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and lift low mood. Client-centered therapy is used alongside CBT to make sessions feel guided by the person's needs, with the therapist listening closely and adjusting to what comes up.Mindfulness techniques are offered to help manage stress and improve attention to the present moment, useful for worry and reactivity. These approaches are introduced in simple, concrete ways so people can try them between sessions and notice small shifts in daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they develop a plan and try what seems most likely to help, changing course when needed to find a good fit.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and role-playing communication skills. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or when people prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging allow short check-ins, written reflections, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to use approaches consistently.
