Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Brian Nowak integrates client-centered therapy into his online sessions, creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the individual’s priorities guide the process. This approach supports work on relationship concerns, self-esteem, grief, and broader life changes by focusing on the client’s experience and goals.

He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a structured method that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT can be especially useful for addressing anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning by teaching practical coping tools.

Mindfulness therapy is employed to build present-moment awareness and stress-management skills. These practices can support coping with cravings, emotional distress, and transitions, and they are often combined with other techniques to strengthen resilience.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Brian works with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts interventions as progress unfolds.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to practice skills between meetings with licensed professionals and therapists.
