Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist supports personal insight and growth. This approach is helpful for people facing relationship stress, parenting concerns, or navigating life transitions because it prioritizes each person’s values and pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and learn practical skills to change behaviors and manage symptoms like anxiety and depression. It is structured and goal-oriented, often used for stress reduction and improving daily functioning.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and effective communication, making it useful for managing intense emotions, anger, and interpersonal difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Travis works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue work on skills between appointments. Licensed professionals can deliver these approaches effectively in virtual formats, helping clients make meaningful progress from wherever they are.
