Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Patrick Scally draws from several evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in an online setting.

It is often used to address concerns like anxiety, low mood, and confidence issues by turning insight into practical, day-to-day strategies.
Mindfulness Therapy adds tools for noticing thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them. This approach can support people who feel overwhelmed, stressed, or stuck in cycles of worry by helping them build steadier attention and emotional balance.
