Approaches for Online Therapy and Practical Care

Brian uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical coping skills - CBT is often useful for anxiety, stress, and depressive symptoms because it focuses on concrete strategies and skill building.

Narrative Therapy is another approach he uses to help clients separate themselves from their problems by exploring the stories they tell about their lives - this can be helpful for trauma, identity concerns, and major life transitions by creating space to reframe and reauthor personal meaning.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying small, achievable steps toward the client’s goals and highlighting existing strengths - it works well for immediate challenges like communication problems, parenting issues, and navigating change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Brian will collaborate with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques as the work progresses so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit care into a busy life or connect from different locations. These options support consistent access to a licensed professional and allow the therapeutic work to continue in ways that suit each client’s schedule and comfort.
