How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s concerns. Online sessions using this approach prioritize clear, supportive conversation so someone can talk through feelings and possibilities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety or low mood. In online work CBT often uses worksheets, thought records, and concrete exercises to try between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try approaches that match those needs. That collaboration guides whether to focus on changing thoughts, building motivation, or setting short-term steps toward a goal.

They also permit using written tools and screen-shared exercises during the session to practice CBT worksheets or set solution-focused goals.
