Online support

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and trust. Online work can help people notice patterns in relationships, repair connection, and learn new ways to relate.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person’s experience and priorities, with the therapist listening closely and following the client’s lead. This approach helps with stress, self-esteem, and making sense of life changes through steady, empathic support.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify core emotions and use them to strengthen bonds and improve communication. It is often used for relationship and intimacy issues and can be effective in video or phone sessions where partners or individuals can work through emotional patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then shape sessions around those needs. That shared planning helps choose when to focus on emotion, attachment patterns, practical skills, or reflection.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video is useful for face-to-face dialogue and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a work break or require less bandwidth, chat offers shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to stay consistent while fitting therapy into everyday life.
