Client-Centered Care and Practical Strategies for Online Therapy
Client-centered therapy emphasizes the client's own experience and priorities, offering a supportive, non-directive space where the therapist reflects and clarifies what matters most to the individual. This approach can help with relationship issues, self-esteem, and reconnecting with personal values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and practicing concrete skills to manage anxiety, stress, and behavioral habits. It is often useful for clients seeking practical tools to cope with everyday challenges.
Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve ambivalence and find internal motivation for change, which can be especially helpful during life transitions or when increasing commitment to relationship or personal goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. David works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing work to fit into busy schedules and different life circumstances. Licensed professionals can adapt these therapeutic approaches to remote formats to maintain continuity of care and make access to support more convenient.
