Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Steven Gaddis draws on well-established approaches that translate effectively to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and habit-related concerns. Motivational Interviewing focuses on exploring a person's own motivations and ambivalence, supporting change by strengthening internal commitment and confidence - it can be helpful for addictions, readiness for change, and lifestyle shifts. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and existing strengths to build short-term progress and clarify attainable goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Steven works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adapts techniques over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

The online format supports flexible ways to engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to connect around work schedules, family responsibilities, or other commitments. Remote work can increase accessibility and continuity, allowing licensed professionals and therapists to focus on practical strategies and steady progress across varied life situations.
