Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Dr. Bruce McClure

Dr. McClure uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where the client's experiences and goals guide the work - this approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration to help people find their own answers and build on personal strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to develop practical skills for managing symptoms and improving day-to-day functioning; it is often helpful for anxiety, mood concerns, and relationship patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help people navigate intense emotions and improve communication.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. McClure works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to consider the client’s needs, goals, and preferences and to adjust methods as the work evolves. That collaborative stance helps tailor care to each person's situation.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into a busy life, and access therapy from different locations while working with a licensed therapist.
