Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on how emotions shape relationships and personal patterns. It helps people identify core feelings and create new ways of responding to strong emotions, which can be useful for grief, attachment, and intimacy-related concerns.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and creating a nonjudgmental space. The therapist follows the person's lead, helping them find their own insights and goals without imposing a set agenda.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. It uses structured exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and practice different reactions, which can ease anxiety, depression, and stress responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diane will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may shift over time as new priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, ongoing reflection, or a way to stay connected between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and different life situations.
