Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Dr. Kobe Akanmu uses a blend of client-centered and cognitive-behavioural approaches, and she also draws on emotionally-focused ideas when relationships are central to a client’s concerns. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the conversation and explores their own values and goals - this approach is helpful for issues of self-esteem, life transitions, and emotional processing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools for anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) targets emotional patterns in close relationships and supports partners and individuals in developing stronger, more secure connections.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Akanmu collaborates with each person to determine which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as therapy progresses to ensure a good fit.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people meet with licensed professionals - whether by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access support around work, family, and other commitments. These options allow clients to engage in meaningful therapeutic work from locations that suit their schedules while maintaining continuity of care and regular contact with their therapist.
