Therapy approaches you can use online
Pete commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns because it focuses on practical steps and small experiments that can reduce symptoms.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the client's own goals and pace. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes the work around what matters most to them. Motivational Interviewing is another tool he brings in to strengthen commitment to change and to explore mixed feelings about difficult steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Pete works collaboratively to pick methods that fit each person's needs, goals, and preferences. He checks in regularly and adjusts the plan if something isn’t helping.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let you work face to face when you want more connection.
