Approaches for Online Therapy and Practical Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the client's own goals. In this approach the therapist creates a respectful, nonjudgmental environment and supports clients as they explore feelings, strengthen self-esteem, and work through relationship or identity concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and skills oriented, often used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes by teaching tools for managing thoughts and reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Collins works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and he adapts strategies over time as those needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing clients to choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort. These options can make it easier to maintain consistent care, access licensed professionals from home, and integrate therapy into busy lives without sacrificing continuity of support.
