Therapeutic approaches and online care with Russell Bresgall
Russell integrates client-centered therapy with practical, skills-based work to support clients in examining their experiences and making meaningful changes. Client-centered therapy emphasizes an accepting, non-directive relationship in which the person seeking help is treated as the expert on their own life and is supported to explore values, feelings, and choices.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is often useful for addressing anxiety, depression, stress, compulsive habits, and difficulties with concentration or impulsivity. Mindfulness-based approaches are used alongside these methods to develop present-moment awareness, reduce reactivity, and support emotional regulation across issues such as grief, chronic stress, and compassion fatigue.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the journey and Russell approaches this collaboratively. He will work with each person to identify goals, try relevant techniques, and adjust the approach based on what is most helpful for their needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes support accessible across different time zones and schedules. These options allow clients to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working with licensed professionals to make steady progress.
