How his approaches work for online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s experience in the moment. The therapist listens closely, reflects what he hears, and follows the client’s lead to build trust and clarity. This approach helps with relationship concerns, grief, and spiritual wounds by centering the person’s own priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and try new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and name their emotions in relationships. It supports clearer communication and stronger emotional bonds, which can ease intimacy issues and conflict.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to find a fit that feels useful.

Online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when life is busy.
