How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead. In practice this means the therapist reflects back what he hears, asks questions that matter to the client, and helps people name what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear steps to spot unhelpful thinking and to try out different behaviors that reduce anxiety or lift mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift emotional patterns that influence relationships and attachment. It can be useful for improving communication and closeness.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. He aims to agree on a plan that mixes listening with practical exercises and goal-setting, and adjusts that plan as progress is made.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can access care from different locations. Many people find these practical benefits help them stay consistent with their work between sessions.
