Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
John Doran draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and EMDR to guide online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and meeting people where they are - it helps clients explore their own goals and build on personal strengths. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. EMDR is an evidence-informed method used to process traumatic memories and reduce their current emotional impact, which can be especially helpful for clients coping with past abuse or other traumatic events.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. John collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan over time as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps ensure that treatment fits the individual rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all model.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to access care from different locations. Working remotely with licensed professionals can support consistent engagement, continuity of care, and the ability to receive therapeutic guidance in formats that match a client’s comfort and lifestyle.
