Online support options

Practical therapy methods for online care

Fay uses client-centered work to listen closely and follow what matters most to each person. This approach means conversations begin where the client is, helping identify priorities and build goals that feel doable.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that fuel anxiety or depression. EMDR is another tool she uses for processing trauma; it supports people in reducing the intensity of troubling memories so they interfere less with daily life.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Fay will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try methods that fit those aims, and adjust as progress is made. Together they decide what helps most for symptoms, daily functioning, and longer term recovery.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is useful for in-depth work and visual cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family, or travel while keeping consistent care.
