Approaches and Online Care for Practical Change
Andrew integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as core parts of his practice. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so the person sets the pace and priorities while the therapist offers support and reflection - this approach is often helpful for building self-esteem and navigating life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and developing clear strategies to change behaviors and manage symptoms, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Andrew works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and specific challenges, adjusting the plan as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call or phone, and shorter contacts can occur via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access care from different locations, all while allowing therapists to use the same client-centered and skills-based approaches that guide in-person work.
