How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to reduce distress and change patterns. It is helpful for anxiety, depression and anger management. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early experiences affect current trust and connection; it can help with intimacy and trust issues.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Joanne will discuss what feels right and adapt methods to the client’s goals and preferences. She views therapy as a partnership and will check in regularly to make sure the chosen approach is helpful.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into a busy week, reduces travel time and allows shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can also make it easier to continue regularly while juggling work, family or other commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which session arrangements will work best for each person.
