Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Support
Joanne Perkins draws on approaches that can be effective in an online setting, adapting the work to what feels most helpful for each client.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing a supportive, respectful environment where clients can explore what they are feeling and experiencing without pressure. This approach can be especially helpful when someone is seeking steadier self-understanding, confidence, or relief from feeling stuck.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another. It often involves identifying unhelpful patterns and practicing new ways of responding, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and low mood.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes strengths and small, practical steps toward change. It can be a good fit when clients want to clarify goals, build momentum, and focus on what is already working, even in difficult circumstances.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Joanne works collaboratively with clients to understand preferences, goals, and what feels manageable, then adjusts the focus over time as needs change.
Online therapy offers flexible options, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access support from a comfortable, familiar setting.
