Solution-focused methods are used when clients want shorter-term, goal-orientated change. The mix is adapted to each individual’s situation. Dr.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Dr. Akanmu commonly uses client-centred work to keep the focus on the person’s experience and priorities. That approach means sessions begin by listening closely and building a respectful, collaborative relationship, which helps with issues like low self-esteem and grief.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. CBT online helps people learn practical tools for anxiety, depression and unhelpful coping patterns by practising techniques between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences, and can adapt the mix over time as needs change.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and fuller non-verbal contact. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates, reflection between sessions and people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
