How Hollie's Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy starts by focusing on the person's experience and priorities, with the therapist listening deeply and reflecting what matters most. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through feelings and make choices. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses small experiments to test new ways of responding. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, and rebuilding confidence.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to match goals and preferences to techniques, and may blend client-centered listening with CBT exercises over time. Together they decide which tools feel most helpful and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different days and needs. Video visits allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy schedule. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, immediate reflection, or when someone prefers typing to talking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, childcare, and other commitments.
