How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful connection. In this approach the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what matters most, and helps people clarify goals and values. It is useful when someone needs a calm, understanding space to sort feelings and choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. The therapist helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practices different ways of responding. This method can be helpful for anxiety, depression, anger, and habit change work.

Motivational Interviewing supports people who are weighing change. The therapist uses questions and reflections to strengthen motivation and plan small steps. It often pairs well with work around substance use or lifestyle changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit, and adjust based on what helps. Clients are encouraged to share preferences so the plan reflects their needs and pace.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let people use verbal and visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can work during a break at work. Live chat and text messaging allow for brief check-ins, written reflections, and more frequent contact between sessions. Those options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work even when schedules or locations change.
