Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and shift the behaviors that maintain distress. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life transitions by teaching practical skills for problem solving and mood regulation.

Solution-focused therapy concentrates on clients’ strengths and short-term goals, emphasizing what is already working and small changes that lead to noticeable improvement. This approach is useful for clients seeking clear, goal-oriented progress in areas like relationships, career challenges, or habit change.

Narrative therapy invites clients to explore the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships, separating the person from the problem and opening space for new perspectives. It can be especially helpful for identity issues, trauma recovery, and shifting long-standing patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jean-Michael collaborates with clients to select and adjust techniques based on individual needs, goals, and preferences so therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for clients with busy schedules, varied locations, or mobility constraints. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, access support from afar, and integrate therapy into daily life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor care to each client’s circumstances.
