Therapeutic approaches and how online therapy fits your life
Ian combines a person-centered way of working with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Person-centered work means conversations are led by what matters most to the client and the therapist follows the client’s priorities and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.These approaches are practical and goal-oriented. Together they help with stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, family problems, ADHD, and concerns linked to Autism and Asperger Syndrome. Finding the right mix is a collaborative process - the therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches, and adjust work based on what helps most.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and work in real time. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a calmer check-in is needed. Live chat and text allow brief check-ins, messaging between sessions, or a more flexible pace. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, and family life while keeping therapy focused and practical.
