Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises the individual’s experience and aims to create an accepting, non-directive space where personal insight and self-directed change can emerge. This approach supports work on self-esteem, life transitions and feelings of being overwhelmed. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and developing practical strategies to shift them - it is often used to address anxiety, stress and low mood by breaking cycles that maintain distress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help people relate differently to difficult thoughts and emotions, which can be useful for managing stress, burnout and everyday reactivity.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Tanika works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods match their needs, goals and preferences, adapting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to each person’s priorities.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as greater scheduling flexibility and easier access for clients who are living abroad or managing busy lives. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, enabling clients to choose the format that fits their circumstances while working with licensed professionals and therapists who can provide continuity of care.
