Therapeutic approaches and what online work can offer
Peter commonly draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own answers; it can help when someone needs a supportive space to sort through feelings. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, anger, and low mood.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they adjust methods over time so sessions remain practical and relevant.
