Therapeutic Approaches for Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and respect for each person’s experience, helping individuals explore their feelings and build self-directed change; it is often useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem work, and navigating life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to change them, making it a common choice for anxiety, depression, and anger management.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, particularly helpful for addictions, behavioral change, and clients who feel unsure where to start.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Chris works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to fit care into busy schedules and maintain continuity of support across distance.
