Therapeutic approaches for online support
Charlotte uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT often helps when anxiety, depression or life changes make it hard to move forward.She also uses Trauma-Focused approaches to help people process distressing events and reduce their day-to-day impact. This kind of work focuses on stabilising symptoms, building coping skills and then gradually addressing traumatic memories when the person is ready.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels manageable. Together they choose methods and pace so the work fits the person's life and current needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth work and non-verbal cues, phone calls can fit a busy day or lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging suit brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, health appointments or caring responsibilities while maintaining a consistent therapeutic process.
