How Chad's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Chad uses client-centered therapy to place the client's experience and goals at the heart of sessions, listening carefully and adapting the pace and focus to each person's needs; this approach is well suited to relationship concerns, family dynamics, and self-esteem work.He also applies cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, stress, mood, and impulsivity. Motivational interviewing is another approach he employs to support readiness for change, particularly when clients are wrestling with ambivalence around substance use, lifestyle shifts, or difficult decisions.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Chad works with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.
Online therapy allows Chad to offer those approaches through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage family obligations, or access care from different locations. These options support continuity of care and flexibility while maintaining the supportive relationship central to therapeutic work.
