Therapeutic Approaches for Effective Online Support
Jo Shenton incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centered principles to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions, supporting people struggling with anxiety, depression or problematic behaviours. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relationships formed early in life and how they influence current connections, which can be helpful for those facing intimacy, abandonment or communication difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy prioritises a respectful, non-directive relationship where the client’s experience leads the pace and focus of sessions, useful for building self-esteem and processing painful experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Jo works collaboratively to identify what fits each person best. She adapts methods to suit individual goals, preferences and life circumstances, checking in and refining the plan as therapy progresses so clients feel involved in decisions about their care.
Online therapy with Jo can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and location. These options make regular support more accessible for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or those living outside the therapist’s immediate area, while still allowing meaningful, outcome-focused work with a registered professional.
