Therapeutic approaches and flexible online support



James Coley draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to guide online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance and supports clients in exploring their values, strengths, and goals to find personally meaningful change. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. DBT teaches practical skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, and is often helpful for managing intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and patterns that feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and James works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors interventions rather than using a one-size-fits-all model and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexible scheduling and easier access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow clients to engage in therapy from locations that suit them and to choose the format that best matches their communication style and daily life.
