Integrating therapeutic approaches for online support

Dr. Kobe Akanmu draws on client-centred therapy to place the person’s own experience and values at the heart of the work - this approach helps people feel heard and supported as they explore what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps partners and family members recognize and change interaction patterns that maintain distress, making it a helpful option for relationship and attachment issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Dr. Akanmu works with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts the plan as progress unfolds so the work remains practical and relevant.

Online sessions include video calls, phone conversations, live chat and text-based messaging to offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, access support from home, and maintain continuity of care across changes in location or routine.
