How therapy approaches translate to online work
Tina often draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural experiments. CBT is practical and focuses on changing patterns that keep problems going, such as worry or avoidance.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which encourages noticing painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that match personal values. ACT can help when strong emotions or confusing thoughts make decision-making hard.
Finding the right approach is something to do together. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences, adjusting the plan as you go. That collaborative process is part of the work rather than a one-off choice.
Regarding online therapy, Tina prefers video calls and phone sessions and can offer messaging in a set 50-minute slot through the platform. If you plan to use online work, check the session options before booking so they match your daily routine. Online sessions can make it easier to work around childcare, fit appointments into a lunch break, reduce travel time and allow continued contact when geography changes. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises and homework so they work well over calls or messages.
