Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Samuel Parker
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a structured approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and other mood-related concerns by teaching practical skills for coping and problem solving.
Existential Therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility. It can help clients who are coping with major life changes, grief, or a sense of emptiness by exploring personal values and the ways people create meaning in their lives.
Narrative Therapy invites clients to examine and, where helpful, reframe the stories they tell about themselves. This approach supports people who are struggling with identity, relationship patterns, or the lingering impacts of trauma by separating the person from the problem and opening possibilities for new perspectives.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Samuel works collaboratively with clients and with licensed professionals when appropriate to tailor methods to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences so the plan of care fits the individual.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to attend sessions from home or between other commitments. These options increase accessibility and allow clients to choose the format that best supports their participation and continuity of care.
