How evidence-based techniques work in online therapy
Josh combines person-centred ways of working with practical therapeutic techniques. Person-centred practice focuses on listening, empathy and helping people identify their own goals and values. Acceptance and commitment approaches encourage noticing difficult thoughts and choosing values-based actions to move forward. Schema-oriented ideas look at long-standing patterns and how they shape reactions, which can help with issues tied to shame, abandonment or control.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Josh treats this as a collaborative process and will check what feels useful. Together they decide which techniques to try, adapt them as needed, and review progress as goals change.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a quick pause is needed.
