Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Gary Greene integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Trauma-Focused Therapy into his online practice. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, helping clients explore their values and build self-awareness - it is useful for life transitions, relationship concerns, and self-esteem work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and address addictive patterns. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences to reduce their ongoing impact on mood, relationships, and daily functioning.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Gary works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then tailors techniques and pacing to find the best fit for each person. The plan can evolve as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or geographic constraints. Sessions by video or phone allow for real-time conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging provide more frequent check-ins and convenience between appointments. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care and integrate therapeutic work into everyday life.
