Approaches for Online Care and Therapeutic Support

John Bazan draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to tailor online care to each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and take steps toward a meaningful life while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings; it is often useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to manage mood, anxiety, and coping with addictions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration, offering a supportive environment where clients lead the pace and focus of work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and John works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances. They will discuss options, try strategies together, and adjust the plan as needed so therapy remains responsive and relevant.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - provide flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic distance. These formats allow licensed professionals to offer consistent, accessible care and make it easier to maintain continuity between sessions while adapting to each client's lifestyle and communication preferences.
