Therapeutic approaches and online care

Christopher Reed works with several evidence-informed approaches that adapt well to online formats. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers empathy and understanding - this approach helps with self-exploration, confidence, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a problem-focused method that identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and insomnia. He also uses EMDR to support people processing traumatic memories and reducing their impact on daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christopher collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative stance helps tailor pacing, techniques, and focus throughout treatment.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video or phone allow real-time conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging can provide shorter check-ins or a gentler way to begin. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to receive consistent support when in-person visits are not possible.
