CBT-Based Care and Flexible Online Support
Alan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a skills-focused approach that helps people recognize unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical tools for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT typically involves identifying automatic thoughts, testing them against reality, and practicing new behaviors that lead to better functioning and mood.
Alongside structured CBT work, Alan tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person’s circumstances, blending a supportive, problem-solving stance with skill-building. This adaptable approach can help with trauma recovery, anger management, sleep difficulties, and coping with major life changes.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Alan collaborates with clients to determine what methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. He works with licensed professionals and therapists when coordination of care is helpful.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for this work - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life transitions. These options increase flexibility and accessibility, allowing clients to engage in treatment in ways that best suit their daily lives.
