Therapeutic approaches and remote care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients lead the conversation and therapists reflect understanding and support. This approach helps people explore personal values, build self-awareness, and strengthen confidence when facing life challenges.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, stress management, and situations where changing thinking patterns can reduce distress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and increasing distress tolerance. It can be especially useful for clients who struggle with impulsivity, strong emotional reactions, or patterns that disrupt relationships.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Bryan works with clients to evaluate goals, preferences, and needs, then tailors a plan that may draw from one or more of these methods so therapy feels practical and personally relevant.
Online therapy provides flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or manage care from different locations. These formats allow licensed professionals to offer consistent support, skill practice, and check-ins while adapting to each client’s preferred way of communicating.
