How therapy approaches translate to online care
Lawrence commonly blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. CBT focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behavior to reduce anxiety, depression, and sleep problems and to improve day-to-day functioning.He also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT-style techniques can be helpful for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive behavior, and improving relationships. Together these approaches aim to make practical changes that fit the client's goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lawrence will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs and preferences, adjusting plans as progress is made. He treats the process as a partnership and checks in about what is or isn't working.
