Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care
Dr. Les Brinson uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions aligned with their values - it is often helpful for anxiety, chronic stress, and life meaning questions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and listening so the person can explore feelings and make their own choices - it works well for relationship issues, caregiver stress, and identity concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that contribute to depression, anxiety, and burnout, offering practical skills for coping and problem solving.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Dr. Brinson collaborates with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts methods over time so the treatment fits the person rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or mobility concerns, and they allow clients to receive consistent support from licensed professionals without geographic barriers. Dr. Brinson adapts his clinical approaches to these remote formats to help clients make steady progress toward their goals.
