Online support
Practical approaches for online therapy and care
Connolly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on problem solving and emotional regulation. One approach emphasizes identifying concrete problems, breaking them into manageable parts, and testing small changes between sessions to see what helps. This method is useful for stress, anxiety, and everyday coping challenges.Another approach centers on understanding attachment and relationship patterns. It helps people notice how early relationships affect current reactions and then practice different ways of connecting and setting boundaries. This can be useful for codependency, abandonment concerns, and family-of-origin issues.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, what has helped or not helped in the past, and any practical constraints. Together they pick strategies that fit the person's needs and preferences, and adjust those strategies as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow more visual interaction, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can work for quick check-ins, and text messaging can support ongoing reflection between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between sessions.
