Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Dr. Matise often integrates client-centered therapy, which emphasizes understanding the person’s perspective and building a collaborative, empathetic relationship to support growth and self-discovery. This approach is helpful for people seeking greater self-awareness, improved relationships, and a respectful space to explore life changes.
He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-based method that helps identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and replace them with more effective strategies; CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with everyday challenges. For trauma-related concerns, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) may be offered to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Matise collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress unfolds.
Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through flexible options - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - allowing clients to engage in consistent care from different locations and on schedules that suit their lives. Licensed professionals can deliver effective therapeutic work through these formats while maintaining a supportive therapeutic relationship.
