How Jake’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on following the person's lead, listening without judgement and helping people make sense of their experience. Online sessions using this approach let conversations unfold at the client’s pace while the counsellor reflects and clarifies what matters most.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and then tests small changes. In remote work CBT techniques can include structured check-ins, behavioural experiments between sessions and short written exercises to track progress.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and strengthen commitment. This style fits well with online formats because it uses conversational prompts and goal-setting that translate easily to chat or phone work.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match goals, preferences and life demands. That could mean sticking with person-centred listening at first, then adding CBT tools or motivational strategies as needed.
Online therapy brings practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations. Phone sessions may suit times with lower bandwidth or when a camera feels too much. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, writing through difficult moments, or fitting therapy around work and family commitments.
