Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Prof. Florence Chichester draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then practicing practical strategies to respond differently. It is often used to support concerns like stress, anxiety, low mood, and day-to-day coping. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and ongoing relationships shape current expectations of closeness, trust, and support, which can be especially helpful when relationship patterns feel stuck or painful. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) emphasizes understanding emotions as meaningful signals and building new ways to connect, often supporting communication and relationship repair.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Prof. Chichester collaborates with clients to understand what is bringing them in, what they want to change, and what feels most comfortable, then adapts the work to fit their goals and preferences over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility without putting life on hold. Sessions can happen through video calls or phone, and many clients also appreciate the option of live chat or text-based messaging for ongoing support between appointments. This range of formats can make it easier to get started, stay consistent, and access care in a way that fits real schedules.
