Therapeutic approaches for online support

Corina commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and she also draws on Client-Centred principles. ACT helps people clarify personal values and practise small actions that align with those values, which can reduce getting stuck in unhelpful thoughts. CBT looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies to change patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. Client-Centred work focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels understood and can find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Corina works collaboratively to identify which methods feel helpful based on each persons goals and circumstances. She will adapt techniques and pace to match preferences and what is practical in everyday life.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the current session options before booking. Many people value online work because it can fit more easily into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling. Online sessions can also let someone choose quieter surroundings, opt for a shorter check-in or avoid being on camera when that helps. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can guide a clear plan so the work moves forward even when life is hectic.
