How his approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening deeply and following the person’s lead, helping people feel understood and building trust before moving into change work. This approach is useful for people coping with relationship problems, parenting stress, or complex emotions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down worries and behaviors into small parts so people can learn practical skills to manage mood, anxiety, ADHD-related challenges, and addictive patterns. Sessions often include clear goals and home practice to try new ways of thinking and acting between meetings.
Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from the problems they face by looking at life stories and finding different meanings. It can be helpful for people dealing with grief, identity strains, or long-standing family patterns.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Kevin works collaboratively to find what fits each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. He adjusts techniques over time based on what’s working and what isn’t.
Online therapy offers practical benefits: video calls let people see facial cues and use screen-sharing for worksheets, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or movement is a concern, and live chat or text messaging support quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These formats increase flexibility so therapy can fit into busy days, work breaks, or caregiving routines.
