Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Joseph integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and EMDR into his online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist listens closely and supports the client’s own goals and insights - it is useful for building self-understanding and improving relationships. CBT is a skills-based approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood concerns. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that facilitates processing of distressing memories and can reduce the intensity of trauma-related symptoms when trauma is a central concern.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Joseph works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques over time as progress is made. Clients are active partners in selecting strategies that feel most helpful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to connect with licensed professionals from home, while maintaining continuity of care when life circumstances change.
