Online support
Styles that guide online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and understanding strong emotions and how they shape relationships and choices. It helps people who feel stuck by clarifying what emotions mean and how they influence behavior.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, then commit to actions that match their values. This is useful for anxiety, depression, and making life changes.
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters to the person in front of the therapist. It supports self-exploration and helps people feel heard while they sort out goals and values.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Vanessa will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust them as progress is made.
Online therapy offers a range of session types to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or suit people who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients check in between sessions and share updates without scheduling a full call. These options aim to make ongoing therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
