How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and following the person's lead. In practice this means the therapist asks open questions, reflects what is said, and helps people name what matters most to them. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive space to sort out feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions typically include identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes. CBT can help with anxiety, mood problems, compulsive behaviors, and managing stressful situations.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about making changes. It uses guided conversation to explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation for specific goals. This method is often brief and pairs well with other techniques.
Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust as progress is tracked. That collaborative planning helps make sessions feel purposeful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video works well for full conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text can suit quick check-ins, journaling, or when someone prefers written notes. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep regular momentum.
