Therapeutic Approaches and Virtual Care
Tim Gravier commonly draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, along with motivational interviewing, to support people working through a range of concerns. Client-centered therapy focuses on offering respectful, empathic listening and supporting the client’s own insights - it can be especially helpful for issues like low self-esteem, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, making it a practical option for anxiety, depression, and panic-related symptoms. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach designed to enhance motivation for change, which can support efforts such as smoking cessation, career shifts, or coping with caregiving demands.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. He works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time based on what proves most effective.
Online therapy with Tim includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to schedule appointments around work, caregiving, or health concerns and allow consistent support even when in-person visits are difficult to arrange.
