Approaches for Online Care and Collaborative Change
Erwin commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered methods in his online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching practical skills to shift those patterns, which can help with depression, anxiety, anger, and motivation concerns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and supports the client in finding their own solutions, especially helpful for self-esteem, relationship, and identity challenges. He may also draw on mindfulness-based ideas to help clients build present-moment awareness and coping strategies when appropriate.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Erwin works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align best with their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative exploration helps shape a treatment plan that fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy with licensed professionals offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives, geographic constraints, or varying comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access therapists who can support progress from wherever the client is located.
