Therapeutic Approaches Tailored for Online Care

Douglas applies client-centered therapy online by prioritizing each person's perspective and values, creating room for empathy, active listening, and collaborative goal-setting. This approach helps with issues where understanding personal meaning and strengthening self-direction are important.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In an online format, CBT techniques translate into practical exercises, thought records, and skills practice that can reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Motivational interviewing is another tool Douglas uses to explore ambivalence and support personal motivation for change. It is especially useful for clients facing difficult decisions or trying to shift long-standing patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Douglas collaborates with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors strategies over time so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work from different locations. These options allow licensed professionals to maintain consistent contact, adapt session formats, and support progress in ways that suit each client's life.
