How his approaches fit with online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and treating the person with dignity and respect. It emphasizes the client’s perspective and aims to create a space where people can talk through what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and uses clear exercises to try new ways of responding to stress and anxiety. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and short-term goals to build momentum and change a specific problem.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan as progress is made.
