Our approach to online counselling in Calgary

Even though you are not in the same room as your therapist physically, your online appointment will provide a similar experience as if you were together.

E-counselling is adaptable to many situations. Using a variety of treatment approaches, our counsellors have the training to help you through your struggles remotely, with non judgement and compassion.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT):

CBT has many benefits and focuses on identifying and reshaping negative thought patterns, helping manage anxiety, and providing practical tools for self-reflection and growth. In the virtual realm, CBT enables personalized and solution-oriented interventions for a wide range of issues.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT):

Navigate emotions and build skills through DBT, an evidence-based approach suitable for online counselling. DBT's emphasis on mindfulness and emotion regulation offers individuals practical tools to manage distress and anxiety, enhance interpersonal effectiveness, and foster resilience.

Solution-Focused Therapy:

Engage in goal-oriented and future-focused conversations with Solution-Focused Therapy during an online appointment. This approach aligns perfectly with virtual platforms, as it empowers individuals to identify and amplify their strengths, fostering positive change. The collaborative and brief nature of this therapy makes it accessible and impactful for virtual therapy.

Narrative Therapy:

Uncover and reshape your life through narrative therapy, a modality well-suited for online counselling. By exploring and reconstructing personal stories, this approach offers a transformative experience, promoting self-discovery and empowerment. The narrative therapist's focus provides a flexible and effective avenue for therapeutic exploration.
