Online support

Approaches that shape online sessions

Tommi-Jai uses existential therapy to help people face big life questions and find personal meaning when events feel overwhelming. This approach is useful for people wrestling with life purpose, loss, or major changes. He also uses client-centered therapy which focuses on listening, acceptance, and helping the client lead the pace of work; it helps people feel heard and understood while they sort through feelings and choices.

He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and change thinking patterns that increase distress. CBT gives concrete tools for anxiety, depression, and mood-related struggles and pairs well with the reflective work of existential and client-centered approaches. Choosing the best mix is a collaborative process - Tommi-Jai talks with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adjusts methods over time based on progress and feedback.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls are useful for full-session conversations, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel schedules and help people keep continuity of care regardless of location.
