How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a supportive space where people feel heard. It helps when someone needs empathy, acceptance, and a place to sort out values and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and uses simple, practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change by exploring ambivalence and building commitment in short, focused conversations.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That means discussing what feels useful, trying techniques, and adjusting plans together based on progress and feedback.
Confirm the session formats before booking since options are not listed here. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into weekly life by reducing travel and allowing sessions during breaks or after work. It can also let people use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or choose conversations that rely less on video if that helps them stay focused.
