Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She may also use elements of dialectical behaviour therapy, which teaches emotional regulation and coping skills for intense feelings. These approaches are explained in simple terms during early sessions so people can choose what feels most useful. Finding the right mix is part of the process and the therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person's needs and goals.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. Together these options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel, while letting the therapist and client focus on practical steps that matter.
