Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Kenneth draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship and helps clients explore their values and strengths to address issues like self-esteem, grief, and life transitions. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, a practical approach often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with change. When appropriate, he incorporates elements of Existential Therapy to help clients confront questions about meaning, purpose, and life direction, useful for those facing major life changes or feelings of isolation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Kenneth collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses so the client remains an active partner in care.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue care from different locations. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to maintain continuity of support while adapting to each client’s practical needs.
