Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens closely and helps clients identify their own goals and solutions - it is especially helpful for people seeking a supportive space to explore personal concerns and build self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, and coping with life transitions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding and reshaping emotional responses and relational patterns - it can aid individuals and couples working on connection, attachment, and intimacy issues.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and David works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors the plan over time, combining techniques when appropriate so the work fits the client rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - clients can meet by video call for face-to-face conversation, use phone sessions for convenience, or choose live chat or text-based messaging when that better fits their schedule or comfort level. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, and travel, while still receiving guidance from licensed professionals and therapists focused on practical progress.
