Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Janette Potts works with several established therapeutic approaches that translate well to online formats. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of close relationships and how past bonding experiences influence current feelings and interactions - it can help with relationship difficulties, intimacy-related issues, and trauma-related responses. Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the process, offering empathic listening and acceptance so that clients can discover their own solutions and build self-esteem.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Janette works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend techniques to suit individual circumstances.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to access support from home, work, or while caring for others. These options offer flexibility in scheduling and format, allowing therapy to fit into varied routines while preserving the therapeutic relationship and ongoing continuity of care.
