Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Rowan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that worsen anxiety or depression. CBT focuses on practical skills and small experiments people can try between sessions to feel more in control.

She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the impacts of past traumatic events and reduce their hold on daily life. This approach involves gradually working through responses to trauma while building coping skills to manage distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they set priorities and adjust techniques over time to match progress and preferences.

Online therapy makes scheduling and access simpler by offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow flexible check-ins and allow people to receive support from home, while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Exploring how earlier relationships and patterns still shape the present, often over a longer stretch of time. It relies on conversation and reflection rather than exercises.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
