MY APPROACH
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based and goal-oriented method used to guide individuals on a transformative journey. Together, we explore the intricate relationships between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, aiming to identify and challenge negative cognitive patterns contributing to emotional distress.
Through virtual sessions, I work collaboratively with clients to develop practical coping strategies and problem-solving skills tailored to their unique needs. My approach emphasizes setting specific goals, gaining new perspectives, and acquiring tools to modify behaviours that may hinder personal growth. By fostering insight into the connections between thoughts and feelings, my goal is to empower individuals to make positive changes, ultimately enhancing their sense of control and resilience in navigating life's challenges.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a mindfulness-based framework that encourages clients to accept their thoughts and feelings while committing to actions aligned with their values. By fostering psychological flexibility, I help individuals develop resilience and make meaningful choices in the face of life's challenges.
Confidentiality
Both virtual and traditional in-person therapy adhere to strict confidentiality standards outlined by provincial and territorial regulations, as well as professional ethical guidelines.
Therapists are committed to safeguarding the privacy of clients, employing secure communication methods and maintaining confidential records, whether in virtual or face-to-face therapeutic settings, to ensure the highest standards of privacy and trust.
​
Ensuring confidentiality involves selecting secure and encrypted online platforms, emphasizing the secure storage of electronic records, and providing clients with clear information about the measures in place to protect their privacy during virtual sessions. The commitment to maintaining confidentiality remains paramount, reflecting the evolving landscape of therapeutic services in the digital realm.
Online Therapy
Online therapy offers increased accessibility, allowing individuals to access mental health support from the comfort of their own homes, eliminating geographical barriers. It provides flexibility in scheduling, accommodating diverse lifestyles and making therapy more feasible for those with busy schedules. Additionally, the anonymity of online therapy may reduce stigma and enhance openness, fostering a more comfortable and private environment for clients to share their concerns.
