How his approaches shape online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and perspective. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping them set practical steps that fit their life. Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and the past; this approach helps reframe those stories so they feel less limiting and more hopeful. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dr. Friedman will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and then decide collaboratively which methods to try. That may mean adjusting strategies over time as progress and obstacles become clearer. Confirm the specific online session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut travel time, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people keep therapy going when life circumstances change, while the therapist and client focus on practical steps for managing stress, trauma responses, relationships, and anxiety.
