Background and approach
That often means looking at thought patterns, coping skills, and small behavior changes that reduce day-to-day distress. He uses a mix of approaches depending on what a person asks for. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s own goals and pacing. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses painful events when those are part of the picture. People reach out to talk about caregiving stress, chronic illness, relationship communication, or life transitions.
Dr. Landry also supports those dealing with guilt, isolation, midlife concerns, and issues common to veterans or first responders. He explains the options and helps prioritize what to work on first.
Sessions are offered in English and take place online through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. He practices in California and holds the LCSW credential. The initial steps involve a brief questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits the person’s needs.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and pace. In practice this means conversations that follow what matters most to the client and build on their strengths. It works well for people who want a supportive space to sort out feelings and next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers simple exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety or low mood. CBT is often used for stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, try methods that fit, and adjust as needed. Work is collaborative and paced to what feels useful and realistic for the client.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for deeper discussion. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines.
