Online support

How therapeutic approaches fit into online care

Tommy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on symptom management and coping skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. It is practical and often involves short exercises to practice between sessions.

Trauma-focused methods aim to help people make sense of painful experiences and reduce the ways those memories disrupt daily life. Work typically moves at the client's pace and includes grounding and coping strategies to manage strong emotions. The therapist also draws on skills-based approaches useful for anger and communication problems, teaching concrete tools to improve how someone reacts and connects with others.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they test methods, check progress, and adjust the plan so it fits the person's needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is close to an in-person session and allows visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a simple check-in. Live chat and text messaging are handy for brief check-ins, skill reminders, and ongoing support between longer sessions.
