Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to emotional distress. It is practical and skills-oriented, often used for anxiety, depression, and managing stress.

Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on processing traumatic experiences in a safe, paced way and building coping strategies to reduce trauma-related symptoms. This approach is aimed at helping people regain a sense of stability and control after difficult events.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes clear, achievable goals and highlights strengths and resources to move forward. It is helpful for clients seeking practical steps and rapid progress on specific issues.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tim works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and he tailors methods so therapy fits each person’s circumstances rather than applying a single model to everyone.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care from different locations, and choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals can adapt their methods to work effectively across these formats, supporting progress even when in-person sessions are not feasible.
