Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Christopher Rhodes uses several complementary approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client's perspectives and goals guide the work - it is helpful for building self-understanding, improving relationships, and strengthening self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a goal-oriented method that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, and patterns like negative self-talk. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it useful for intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rhodes works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then adapts techniques from different approaches to find the best fit. Clients are invited to provide feedback so therapy can be adjusted over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, connect from different locations, and maintain continuity of care. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to deliver many therapeutic tools and skills in ways that align with a client’s daily life.
