Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Steven Penn
Steven often integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy into his work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a collaborative relationship in which the client's priorities guide the sessions - it is helpful for exploring personal values, relationship concerns, and motivation for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns and supports practical steps to reduce symptoms of anxiety, low mood, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches skills to increase present-moment awareness and calm, which can be useful for managing stress, rumination, and emotional overwhelm.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Steven works collaboratively to determine which methods best align with a person's needs, goals, and preferences. He adjusts techniques as progress is made and as priorities shift, ensuring the work remains client-centered.
Online sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for a range of schedules and circumstances. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from different locations, maintain continuity during life transitions, and fit therapy into busy routines while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor care to individual situations.
