Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cadyn Burnside integrates attachment-based therapy, client-centered therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into his work. Attachment-based therapy explores how early relationships shape present patterns and helps people develop more secure connections and healthier relationship habits. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and respect, placing the client at the center of the process so they can guide goals and pacing while the therapist provides nonjudgmental support. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and problematic coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Cadyn collaborates with each person to determine what methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adjusts techniques over time so the work remains relevant and responsive to change.

Online therapy allows for flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives or manage care from different locations. These options support continuity of care and offer multiple communication styles so clients and therapists can choose what works best for their relationship and goals.
