Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Ben integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy into his online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers empathy and support - it is useful for strengthening self-esteem, exploring identity, and navigating relationship or family concerns. CBT helps people identify and gently challenge unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often applied to anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Mindfulness therapy introduces present-focused awareness and practical exercises to reduce stress, improve emotional regulation, and support sleep and concentration.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Ben collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and life context. He works alongside clients to adjust methods as progress unfolds, aiming for a practical and person-centered fit.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls or phone sessions, and there are options for live chat or text-based messaging for shorter check-ins or ongoing support. Ben also keeps his message box open for questions and sends weekly messages to help clients stay focused on their goals, making it easier to maintain momentum between sessions while balancing everyday responsibilities.
