Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Robert Burke draws on client-centered therapy to create a collaborative, respectful space where clients' goals and experiences guide the work. This approach focuses on active listening, empathy, and supporting a person's own path to change, making it useful for relationship concerns, identity questions, and general life transitions.He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and adjust unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and problem-focused, often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with change. For clients who struggle with intense emotions or impulsivity, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers skills-based strategies for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and he works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Online sessions make that collaboration more accessible - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling and formats. These options allow licensed professionals to meet clients where they are and adapt care to everyday life and changing circumstances.
