Approaches Used in Online Therapy and What They Do

Dr. Ogles commonly integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing into his clinical work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding the person from their own perspective and creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where self-exploration can lead to clearer goals and greater self-worth - it is often useful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress through skill building and behavioral experiments. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, empathetic method for resolving ambivalence and strengthening a person’s own motivation to make change, which can help with engagement, confidence, and taking steps toward meaningful goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Ogles works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, priorities, and preferences and to tailor methods so the care fits the individual rather than forcing a single model onto every concern.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit care into a busy life and reach licensed professionals from different locations. These formats support flexibility in scheduling, continuity of care during life changes, and multiple ways to communicate so clients can choose what feels most helpful for them.
