Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Adam Dollen draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where the person’s own goals and values guide the work. This approach helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, grief, and the sense of being understood during difficult transitions.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and structured, and it can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.
