Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and values. The therapist listens without judgment and helps clients clarify what matters to them, which can be useful for family and parenting questions or life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Rooney uses practical CBT tools to help people spot patterns and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety or lift mood.

Motivational Interviewing is a short, goal-focused method for people who feel stuck. It helps uncover personal reasons for change and boosts motivation when making decisions about relationships, career, or health.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist meets clients where they are and collaborates on a plan that fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Techniques can be blended and adjusted over time based on progress and feedback.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Those options make it easier to schedule around family responsibilities, work, or health needs. Many people find remote sessions reduce travel and help maintain continuity of care while applying therapeutic tools in real-life situations.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
