Therapeutic approaches for online care

Brandon Thoma integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness practices to guide work in an online setting. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance that prioritizes the client’s perspective and personal goals - it helps people gain clarity and self-direction. Cognitive behavioral therapy is focused on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering practical strategies for anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and stress management skills that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the collaborative process; Brandon works together with each person to determine which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He adjusts methods as progress unfolds so the work stays relevant and effective.

Online sessions using video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographically dispersed support networks. These options allow clients to engage in therapy from familiar environments, maintain consistent access to a licensed professional, and use formats that fit their communication style and daily life.
