Approaches That Translate to Online Care

Stephen commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, existential therapy, and motivational interviewing when working with clients online. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and moods, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Existential therapy invites exploration of meaning, values, and life purpose, helping clients face transitions, grief, and questions about identity with greater clarity. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that strengthens a person’s own motivation to change, often applied to addictions and behavior change efforts.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Stephen works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress and circumstances evolve. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to what matters most to the client.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, manage mobility or caregiving constraints, and maintain continuity during life transitions. Many clients find that these options increase access to consistent support from licensed professionals while allowing treatment to be adapted to individual routines and preferences.
