How Kim's approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and life changes where someone wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical techniques to change patterns of thinking and behaviour and often includes simple home tasks to try between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding emotional responses in relationships and can help people improve intimacy and communication.Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. Kim will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods as therapy progresses. The mix of approaches means work can be tailored to emotions, behaviours or relationship patterns depending on the person's needs.
Online therapy gives flexibility for sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when not being on camera is preferable. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, travel or other commitments.
