Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take practical steps toward a meaningful life, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often useful for anxiety, stress and challenges around motivation.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and the therapeutic relationship to help clients feel understood and supported as they explore their concerns. This approach can be particularly helpful for building self-esteem and working through relationship or life-change issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours, making it a common choice for anxiety, low mood and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Conny works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. She tailors sessions so that therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, allowing clients to fit sessions into busy lives and to access support from where they are. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, adapt session formats to current needs, and connect with licensed professionals and therapists in a way that suits each person.
