Online Therapeutic Approaches and Care with Clifford Bough
Clifford draws on several evidence-informed approaches to guide online work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and patterns formed early in life; it helps clients understand how connection and trust affect current relationships and emotional responses. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's own experience and goals, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead to build insight and self-direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical skills for managing anxiety, mood challenges, and coping with stress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Clifford will work with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adapts techniques as progress unfolds so the work remains relevant and effective.
Online sessions - including video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging - provide flexibility for scheduling and access from different locations. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in treatment, fit therapy into busy lives, and continue work through transitions or when in-person visits are difficult, while still receiving care from licensed professionals and therapists.
