How his approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's goals and pace. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and letting the client's priorities guide each session. This approach helps when someone wants a supportive space to talk through feelings and decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts shape feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking. CBT is often useful for anger, anxiety, stress, depression and behavior patterns that get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist works collaboratively to choose methods that fit the client’s needs, goals, and comfort level. Over the first sessions he will review progress and adjust techniques so the work remains practical and relevant.
