CBT and ERP Approaches in Online Therapy
Benjamin Harris commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - which involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learning practical skills to challenge and change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns and focuses on concrete strategies that people can apply in daily life.He also applies Exposure and Response Prevention - ERP - a specialized behavioral approach for obsessive-compulsive symptoms that gradually and safely confronts feared situations or thoughts while preventing compulsive responses. ERP helps reduce avoidance and the power of compulsive rituals over time.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Benjamin works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts strategies to each individual and adjusts plans as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow people to connect from home, work, or while traveling. These options make scheduling easier and can help maintain continuity of care, while still allowing therapists to deliver structured, evidence-based techniques effectively.
