Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Charles Wickham draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing to support people in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping the individual identify their own goals and strengths - it is useful for building self-esteem, confidence, and for navigating relationship or life-change concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a practical approach that explores how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and offers tools to manage anxiety, depression, and stress by changing unhelpful patterns. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative method that helps people find their own reasons for change and build motivation, which can be especially helpful for issues related to addiction, motivation, and ambivalence about change.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Charles works together with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adjusts techniques over time so the plan stays aligned with progress and changing priorities.
Online therapy with Charles uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexible access to care. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, mobility limits, and other commitments, and they allow licensed professionals and therapists to maintain continuity of support even when in-person meetings are not practical.
