Approaches, Collaboration, and Online Care with Mark Butkus
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's own goals and pace, creating a respectful space where the therapist listens deeply and supports self-directed growth - it is useful for building confidence, working through grief, and improving relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; it is often effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and managing anger by teaching practical coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) works with emotions and attachment patterns to strengthen connections and process trauma - it can be especially helpful for relationship difficulties and intense emotional experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mark collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors techniques over time and checks in to adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or other commitments. These options increase accessibility and let clients continue consistent care from different locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists who use approaches suited to their concerns.
