Approaches That Guide Online Sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist follows the client's lead and supports personal insight and growth. It is particularly helpful for people working through issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and feelings of isolation.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, phobias, and stress-related problems by teaching practical skills and coping strategies.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people explore and reorganize emotional responses and attachment patterns to improve relationships and process traumatic or painful experiences. It can be supportive for those dealing with grief, attachment issues, or relational conflicts.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is treated as a collaborative effort. David will work with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy with David is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care across different locations while still working with licensed professionals and therapists committed to effective support.
