Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Sheila commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of responding to stress, anxiety, grief, and low mood. Motivational interviewing helps people clarify what matters to them and find internal motivation to try different behaviors and goals.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper interactions. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when being off-camera is preferred. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between appointments or fit short conversations into a busy day. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to use alongside daily life.
