How Bradley’s approaches translate to online therapy
Bradley works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Existential Therapy in ways that adapt well to online work. CBT focuses on noticing thoughts that keep people stuck and trying specific behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, social anxiety, and coping with life changes. Existential Therapy looks at values, meaning, and the choices people make; it helps when someone is questioning life purpose or feeling isolated.Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the joint process. Bradley will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan based on what’s working and what isn’t. The emphasis is on collaboration rather than a fixed formula.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy day and keeping momentum between appointments. Online work can make it easier to keep regular check-ins during career transitions or parenting demands.
