Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Richard Goggin integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support people navigating stress, grief, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, listening-first approach where the therapist follows the client’s lead and offers empathy and validation - this approach helps individuals feel heard and build self-directed insight. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns, offering practical tools to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and problematic habits.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Richard works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress and challenges arise.
Online therapy sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility to meet at times that fit daily life. These options can make it easier to access regular support - whether someone prefers face-to-face conversation by video, a quick check-in by message, or the convenience of a phone session - while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists.
