Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Brent commonly uses client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) as foundations for his work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic environment where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers reflective support - this approach helps with self-exploration and building trust. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and learning practical strategies to shift thinking and behavior - it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. DBT teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness - it can be especially helpful for intense emotional reactions and relationship challenges.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Brent collaborates with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and adjusts techniques over time so therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single method.
Online sessions through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility that can make regular work on goals more manageable. These options allow clients to connect from home or other convenient settings, fit appointments into busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care when life changes or travel make in-person visits difficult.
