Approaches and Online Support from a Licensed Professional
Clarence McCray uses client-centered therapy to create a warm, accepting space where a person’s own goals and experiences guide the work. This approach helps when someone needs to explore feelings, clarify values, or rebuild confidence while being met with empathy and respect.He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is often useful for stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms because it targets practical steps and skills that can reduce distress.
Mindfulness therapy is used to strengthen present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to difficult thoughts and emotions. It can help people who struggle with ongoing worry, rumination, or strong emotional responses.
