Approaches you can use online with a counsellor

Megan commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), along with client-centred work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that align with their values; it can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and feelings of being stuck. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression and stress. Client-centred therapy focuses on being listened to without judgement and building understanding, which supports self-exploration and confidence.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the person to find what fits best, combining methods based on individual goals and preferences. This is a collaborative search rather than a fixed prescription, and plans can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions suit those with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make shorter check-ins possible and can fit around work or other commitments. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and try different formats until the best match is found.
