Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

John Mead integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide his online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s experience directs the pace and goals of treatment - it is well suited for improving self-esteem, motivation, and coping with life changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a structured, skills-based approach that helps people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and many stress-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. John works with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts the plan as progress is made so that care remains individualized and responsive.

Online therapy with John is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations, and choose the format that best supports engagement and progress with a licensed professional.
