How his approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's priorities. The therapist reflects concerns back and helps a person name what matters and what to change. This approach is useful for building self-trust and clarifying goals when life feels confusing.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to test worries, adjust unhelpful thinking, and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, and managing impulses.
Motivational interviewing is a brief, goal-focused style that helps people find their own reasons for change. It can be useful for addictions, ambivalence about life changes, and increasing readiness to try new habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss which methods fit a person's goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands, and then try a plan together. That collaborative decision-making helps keep sessions practical and relevant.
