Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Tommy Lopez

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, empathetic relationship in which the therapist follows the client's lead and supports personal growth; it is often helpful for issues of self-esteem, family of origin concerns, and building self-love. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve coping, making it useful for trauma responses, anger management, and stress related to relationship problems. The Gottman Method is a structured approach for couples that teaches communication skills, conflict management, and ways to strengthen connection, which can address communication problems and recurring relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Tommy works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made and circumstances change. Clients should expect a partnership in selecting and tailoring interventions.

Online therapy with Tommy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow clients to receive consistent support from licensed professionals while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they make it easier to continue care when in-person visits are not feasible.
