How these approaches work online

Becky uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT focuses on practical techniques such as testing small changes, changing thinking patterns, and building new habits to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

She also uses solution-focused therapy which zeroes in on strengths and quick wins. That approach helps clients identify goals, notice what already works, and take small steps that lead to visible progress in everyday life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Becky collaborates with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews what helps and adjusts the plan so sessions stay relevant and useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills together, while phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, sharing progress, or getting support between longer sessions. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit into busy lives and different comfort levels.
