Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online care
George Deegan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and skills-focused, and it can be useful for anxiety, panic attacks, and patterns that maintain stress or low mood.He also emphasizes a collaborative, relationship-focused approach that prioritizes building trust and allowing vulnerability to unfold at a comfortable pace. This way of working supports people dealing with grief, addiction, trauma, and relationship difficulties by creating a consistent, compassionate framework for exploring painful experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and George works together with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit care into a busy life and to access a licensed professional from home or elsewhere. These options help maintain continuity of care and make it simpler to attend sessions even when travel or scheduling would otherwise be a barrier.
