Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
John Horsley integrates several evidence-informed approaches to address substance use, trauma, anxiety, and related challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building practical skills to change reactions and behaviors - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep or eating concerns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps people process distressing memories and reduce the emotional intensity associated with them, often used for post-traumatic stress and trauma-related symptoms. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, nonjudgmental style of conversation designed to resolve ambivalence and strengthen a person’s own motivation to change, particularly useful for substance use and other behavior change goals.Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. John works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, adjusting techniques and combining methods when appropriate so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules, energy levels, and communication styles. These options make it easier for people to access licensed professionals and continue care from familiar environments while working toward their objectives.
