This helps when someone needs to feel heard and make sense of their emotions.

CBT works well for stress, worry, and changing habits.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Roy discussing options with each person and adjusts methods to match goals and preferences. Together they set clear aims and try short experiments between sessions to see what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and working through emotion.
