Approach-Focused Online Therapy with an Integrative Lens
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to help clients identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and to practice concrete strategies for change; it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and problems with concentration. Jungian Therapy, informed by depth psychology, looks at deeper symbolic patterns, life themes, and personal meaning to support integration and long-term psychological growth; it can be useful for people exploring identity, recurring relational patterns, and existential concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of experience, offering practical tools for emotion regulation, stress reduction, and improved focus.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Matthew collaborates with each person to assess needs, values, and goals, and then shapes a plan that may combine elements from different methods so therapy fits the client rather than the other way around. This collaborative process helps determine which techniques will be most useful at different stages of treatment.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into busy schedules or to continue care across changes in location. For many people, remote therapy increases accessibility while allowing therapists and licensed professionals to work together on real-life goals and day-to-day challenges.
