Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Adam Turkel



Adam Turkel draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person's goals - the therapist listens carefully and helps clients explore values, relationships, and personal priorities so they can make decisions that feel right for them. CBT focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical techniques to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, and mood disorders by teaching new coping skills and problem-solving strategies. Mindfulness therapy encourages present-focused awareness and simple practices to reduce stress, improve sleep, and support emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Adam works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity when schedules change, and access licensed professionals from one’s own location.
