How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy is about listening to what matters most to the client and shaping sessions around their goals. Online work with this approach still focuses on building a trusting conversation and tracking what changes feel most helpful.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical steps to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. That work often includes brief exercises and skill practice between sessions that can fit into a client's daily routine.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Online sessions can introduce these skills, coach through difficult moments, and plan ways to respond differently when strong feelings arise.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and will adjust plans as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports practicing skills in real-life settings and following up on progress between visits.
