How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on following the person's lead, offering empathy, and creating space to talk through what matters most. Online sessions using this approach can help people feel heard while they work on self esteem and stress.
Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their lives. In sessions, the therapist helps separate a person from their problems and try out new meanings, which can be useful for addiction, trauma, or confidence issues.
Psychodynamic ideas pay attention to repeated patterns and past influences that shape current behavior. Online work can bring those patterns into view so a person can make different choices going forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to figure out which methods fit best given the client’s goals, concerns, and preferences. That shared decision guides how sessions are structured and what is emphasized.
