Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Kent Jarratt integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into his online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance and supports clients in exploring their own goals and values; it is useful for addressing life changes, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to symptoms and teaches practical strategies to manage anxiety, stress, and mood-related difficulties.
He also incorporates hypnotherapy as an adjunctive approach in some cases - this method uses guided relaxation and focused attention to support changes in habits, reduce anxiety, and bolster coping skills. Kent approaches each case collaboratively, working with clients to determine which combination of methods best matches their needs, goals, and preferences so that the plan evolves as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These remote options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods or when in-person visits are not feasible, while allowing clients to engage with a licensed professional from locations that work for them.
