Online support
Finding the right method is part of the work. Elaine collaborates with each person to choose what fits their needs, goals and preferences. She reviews progress and adapts techniques if something is not helpful, so clients are involved in shaping the plan.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit in. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or a good option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing or need flexible timing. These options increase access and make it simpler to keep regular sessions around work and family life.
