How these approaches work online
Natalie uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the client needs in the moment. The therapist follows the client's lead, offers reflection and encouragement, and helps people clarify their goals and choices.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people identify patterns of thinking that get in the way and then test new ways of reacting. CBT is practical and skill-focused, often involving small experiments and practice between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or change addictive behavior.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Natalie will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps. He aims to match methods to each person's needs and preferences rather than sticking to a single way of working.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer different practical benefits. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow quicker check-ins, more frequent support, and flexibility for people who need to fit therapy around other commitments.
