How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what the person says. It helps people feel heard and figure out their own solutions for relationship or parenting stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches simple skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and coping with life changes. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of traumatic events and uses targeted methods to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It can be applied to post-traumatic stress and trauma from abuse or other crises. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted as progress is tracked and feedback is given. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Confirm which session formats are offered before booking so that arrangements match your needs.
