Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Jurgen commonly works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, each offering a different route to change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values - it can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and the therapeutic relationship, giving clients space to explore emotions and build self-understanding, which suits grief, low self-esteem, and relational concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours, making it useful for anxiety, stress, and mood problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Jurgen works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress is made. He treats the choice of approach as a shared decision rather than a fixed prescription.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - so people can access support around work, caregiving, or mobility concerns. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to fit therapy into a busy life while working with licensed professionals and experienced therapists.
