Approach-Focused Online Therapy with a Licensed Counselor



Carson Gerber draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, empathetic environment where clients lead the conversation and their values guide the work. This approach helps people feeling stuck or uncertain to explore goals and priorities at their own pace. He also emphasizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. For clients who benefit from skills-based work around emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness, elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are used to teach concrete coping tools and improve relationships.

Choosing the best approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Carson collaborates with each person to determine what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative stance ensures the plan can adapt as progress and challenges emerge.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone meetings, live chat, or text-based messaging - provide flexibility for scheduling and for how a client prefers to communicate. These options make therapy more accessible for people balancing work, family, or other commitments while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor care to each client's situation.
