Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support
Jonathan Medina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT focuses on practical skills and short-term strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, stress, and social fear, helping people build healthier habits and clearer thinking.He also draws on Motivational Interviewing, a collaborative method that explores a person's own reasons for change and strengthens motivation. This approach is especially useful for clients feeling stuck, ambivalent, or unsure about next steps and works well for improving confidence and sustaining progress.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Jonathan works together with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He frames therapy as a partnership where adjustments are made as progress unfolds.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support without travel, and they allow therapists and licensed professionals to tailor the format to what helps the client engage and move forward.
