How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and tailoring sessions to each person. In practice that means the therapist focuses on understanding what matters to the individual and shaping conversations around their priorities, whether discussing relationships, stress, or ADHD-related struggles.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching concrete skills to change them. It is often used to build routines, manage anxiety, and develop strategies for focus and organization that help with everyday life tasks.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Sessions are intended to be practical so people can test new skills between meetings and report what works.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing brief coaching and reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
