Online support
Approaches for online meaning-making and change
Prof. James often uses Existential therapy to help people reflect on meaning, purpose, and the choices that shape their lives; this approach suits people facing major life transitions or questions about identity. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings, clarifying personal values, and taking committed actions that match those values. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at patterns in close relationships and to build new ways of relating when old patterns cause pain.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences, try methods that fit the client's situation, and adjust plans together as progress is made. Sessions combine reflective conversation with small, practical steps to practice between meetings.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people use facial cues and body language for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or for easier check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter updates, quick coaching, or when written reflection feels more comfortable. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and maintain continuity when travel or scheduling is a challenge.
