Approaches, Collaboration, and Online Therapy Options
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and emotional patterns. It helps clients explore fears of abandonment, attachment injuries, and ways to build more secure connections in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the therapist’s supportive presence and respect for each person’s experience - the therapist listens closely and helps clients discover their own solutions and strengths, which can be especially useful for stress, low mood, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used to address anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviors, and impulsivity.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Justin works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and personal preferences, and he adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy feels relevant and effective for each individual.
Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide scheduling flexibility and allow people to engage in therapy from different settings, making it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
