Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Dr. Charles Graham

Dr. Charles Graham commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and client-centered methods. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and problems like compulsive patterns and substance use. ACT emphasizes acceptance, values clarification, and committed action to help people move forward even when difficult thoughts or feelings persist, which can support coping with stress, avoidance, and life transitions. Client-centered therapy prioritizes empathy, validation, and a nonjudgmental stance, creating a supportive environment that helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and identity exploration.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Graham works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques and pacing so the treatment fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with Dr. Graham provides practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow licensed professionals to meet clients where they are - supporting continuity of care across schedules, locations, and life demands while preserving the core therapeutic work of skill-building, reflection, and progress toward goals.
