Online support options
How Helen’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and perspective. The therapist follows the individual's lead, listens without judgment, and helps identify what matters most for change. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. Emotionally-focused therapy helps people notice and name feelings, which can improve connection and reduce conflict.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss the options, try methods that fit the client’s goals, and adjust as progress is made. Work together to find what feels most helpful, combining techniques when that makes sense.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone calls work well for lower bandwidth or when hands-free time is needed. Live chat and text help with short check-ins, brief coaching, or when writing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to schedule sessions from varied locations and to keep therapy consistent around busy lives.
