How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead. The therapist offers acceptance and reflection to help people clarify feelings and values, which can be useful for self esteem, grief, and relationship concerns.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It includes practical strategies like identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful, combining approaches as needed to match goals and preferences. Decisions about methods and pace are made together during early sessions.
