Client-Centered and CBT Options for Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and perspective. It emphasizes empathic listening, acceptance, and creating a space where clients can explore feelings and values at their own pace - this approach can be especially helpful for issues around self-esteem, relationship concerns, and finding life direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and the behaviours that reinforce them, then developing practical strategies to shift those patterns. CBT is commonly used to address symptoms of depression, anxiety, and challenges with motivation and coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Michaelagh Walker works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they shape a plan that adapts as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - allowing clients to access support from home or elsewhere. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity when schedules change, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for each session.
