Approaches that suit online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding a person's perspective and building on their strengths; it helps when someone needs a listening ear and practical steps that fit their values. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving emotional regulation, which is useful for stress, anger and anxiety. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify goals and find the motivation to change habits or take steps towards career or wellbeing aims.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dayna explores options with each person and chooses techniques together based on goals and preferences. That collaborative process means the method can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, need brief daily support, or want to fit sessions into a busy schedule.
