Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support and Growth
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting, empathetic relationship and placing the client’s perspective at the center of the work. It helps people explore their feelings, clarify values, and make choices that align with what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns and emphasizes skill-building and measurable progress. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and small, achievable steps toward desired outcomes, helping clients move quickly from problems to workable solutions.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Leland works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques to suit the individual and reviews progress together to refine the plan as therapy continues.
