Online support options
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online sessions
Camilla draws on humanistic and person-centered ideas that focus on listening, respect, and helping people access their own strengths. This approach helps people increase self-awareness and build practical ways to handle anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, and parenting strain.She also integrates supportive problem-solving techniques that break larger issues into manageable steps. These methods focus on clear goals, small experiments, and building coping skills for everyday life, which can help with mood struggles, sleep or eating concerns, and managing impulses.
Finding the right method is a joint process. She will work together with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning makes it easier to adjust techniques if something is not working well.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work when in-person sessions are not possible.
