Sheet 2

Approach used in online sessions

Saul uses client-centered methods that focus on the person’s perspective and goals. This approach involves listening closely, clarifying what matters to the client, and shaping sessions around their priorities. It is useful for relationship concerns, parenting questions, and figuring out next steps in daily life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and then tests new responses. It is practical and problem-focused, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. Motivational Interviewing supports people who are unsure about change by exploring ambivalence and building internal motivation one step at a time.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Saul will help a person and therapist decide which methods fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust as those needs change.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also help keep continuity of care for people in different locations, including international clients.
