Online support
How evidence-based methods work online
Giles uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that translate well to online care. One common approach focuses on trauma-informed cognitive behavioral work, which looks at how thoughts and reactions link to symptoms and teaches coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress. Another approach is strengths-based work, which helps people identify existing skills and apply them to relationship problems, grief, or life transitions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Giles will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for deeper exchanges. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people share brief updates or work through thoughts between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between appointments.
