Building rapport in an online setting can be achieved through:

  • Active Listening: Use verbal and non-verbal cues to show engagement, such as nodding and maintaining eye contact, which can help clients feel heard.
  • Personal Touch: Start sessions with casual conversation or check-ins about their week to create a welcoming atmosphere.
  • Consistent Presence: Maintain a consistent schedule and be punctual to help clients feel a sense of reliability and trust.

Engagement Techniques: Use visual aids, shared screens, or interactive elements to foster engagement and make the session feel more dynamic.
