No two people are exactly alike... so why should therapy be one-size-fits-all? Each person comes to therapy with unique experiences, strengths, and goals. Integrative Therapy recognizes this by blending techniques from different therapeutic models to create a personalized approach to healing.
Rather than focusing on just one method, integrative therapy combines evidence-based practices such as CBT, DBT, ACT, EFT, somatic therapy, and mindfulness, tailoring treatment to your needs. The result is flexible, collaborative care that adapts as you grow.
At Tiny Therapy Collective, we provide online integrative therapy across Ontario, ensuring you receive support that feels individualized and empowering.
Who is Integrative Therapy For?
Integrative therapy can benefit anyone, but it’s particularly effective if you:
-
Feel like a single approach hasn’t fully met your needs
-
Want therapy customized to your goals and preferences
-
Are managing complex issues that involve multiple challenges (like trauma, anxiety, and relationship stress)
-
Value both evidence-based tools and holistic perspectives
-
Want therapy that evolves with you over time
This approach is also ideal for people who appreciate having flexibility in how therapy is structured.
How Integrative Therapy Works
In integrative therapy, your therapist will:
-
Explore your goals – Understanding what you want to achieve in therapy.
-
Tailor approaches – Selecting methods from different therapies that fit your needs.
-
Adapt as you grow – Adjusting strategies as your situation or goals change.
-
Blend tools – Using practical skills (like CBT) alongside deeper emotional work (like EFT or IFS).
-
Focus on the whole person – Considering mind, body, emotions, and relationships.
This flexibility ensures that therapy feels collaborative and client-centered.
Everyday Examples of Integrative Therapy
-
Anxiety: Combining CBT to challenge anxious thoughts with mindfulness to calm the nervous system.
-
Depression: Using Behavioural Activation to build routines alongside strengths-based therapy to boost confidence.
-
Trauma: Integrating CPT to reframe beliefs with somatic practices to release body tension.
-
Relationships: Blending Gottman Method tools for communication with EFT to deepen emotional connection.
By weaving approaches together, therapy becomes more adaptable and effective.

Integrative Therapy vs. Single-Approach Therapy
Some therapies (like CBT or DBT) are highly structured, while others (like person-centred or EFT) are more open-ended. Integrative therapy combines the best of both worlds, allowing structure when needed and flexibility when exploration is more helpful.
At Tiny Therapy Collective, we often integrate trauma-informed care into all sessions, ensuring clients feel safe and supported regardless of which approaches are used.
