Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Ben Shores
Client-Centered Therapy in Ben's practice focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic environment where the individual's own goals guide the work. This approach helps people gain insight, build self-understanding, and make choices that reflect their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to practice concrete skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, or stress. CBT can be especially helpful for developing coping strategies and shifting patterns that interfere with daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ben collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress is made. The process is informed by the client's priorities and is intended to be a joint effort between therapist and client.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access consistent support around other responsibilities. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, reduce travel time, and allow people to maintain momentum between meetings. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt both client-centered work and CBT to these remote formats so that care remains focused, practical, and aligned with each person's life circumstances.
