Approach-Focused Online Therapy with a Hawaii-Based LMHC
Joseph Hakim commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered approaches into online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a practical, skills-focused method that helps identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the client's own goals and perspectives, creating a respectful, empathetic space where the person’s values and choices guide the work. Motivational Interviewing is also used to strengthen motivation for change, particularly around addictions and behavioral adjustments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Hakim collaborates with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts methods as progress unfolds so the treatment remains relevant and effective for the individual.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and wider access to care.
