Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client s perspective guides the work. This approach emphasizes empathy and collaboration and is well suited for people seeking a supportive environment to explore personal goals and values.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is practical and skill-oriented, often used for coping with addictive behaviors, relationship patterns, and managing grief-related distress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines acceptance with skill-building in areas such as emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be especially helpful for people who need tools to manage strong emotions and improve communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and William works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques over time so the work stays aligned with what the client hopes to achieve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care across locations, and access support in formats that feel most comfortable for each individual.
