Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist follows the client's lead to build understanding and strengthen self-directed growth. It can be helpful for people working through relationship issues, self-esteem concerns, and major life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is commonly used to address anxiety, depression, panic, obsessive thoughts, and patterns that maintain distress, offering practical strategies and skills for day-to-day coping.
Existential therapy explores meaning, values, and personal responsibility in the face of life’s challenges. It can assist clients wrestling with questions about identity, purpose, grief, and major life changes by clarifying what matters most to them.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Licensed professionals and therapists work collaboratively to tailor methods to a client's goals, needs, and preferences, and Brandon Barton uses conversation and assessment to determine the best fit.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from a distance while working with a licensed professional.
