Approaches to change you can use online

McKenzie uses clear, evidence-based approaches adapted to each person. One common technique focuses on teaching coping skills for anxiety and stress - practical tools for managing worry, slowing down racing thoughts, and handling intense feelings so they interfere less with daily life. Another approach targets relationship and attachment concerns by examining communication patterns and past relationship experiences to build more supported ways of connecting with others.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. McKenzie will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That way the work stays focused on what matters to the client and changes over time as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, while phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, shorter sessions, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
