Evidence-Based Therapy, Accessible Through Online Sessions
Sophie Dunstone draws from established, practical approaches that can translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, then practicing new ways of responding, which can be useful for concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and OCD. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) builds concrete skills for managing intense emotions, coping with distress, and improving relationships, and it can be especially helpful when emotions feel overwhelming or when self-harm is part of the picture. Trauma-focused work supports clients in making sense of trauma experiences at a manageable pace, with attention to safety, grounding, and stepping toward what matters in life.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sophie works collaboratively, listening closely and adapting the plan to fit each client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Over time, sessions can shift between skill-building, reflection, and structured exercises depending on what is most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, continue support during life changes, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for the work being done.
