Therapeutic approaches for online support and change

Cary Brim Reid integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support clients in online formats. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and respect for each person s pace, helping people feel heard as they explore values and life goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy offers practical, structured strategies to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop new coping skills, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and sleep difficulties.

DBT techniques teach concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication, making them helpful for people experiencing overwhelm or relationship strain.

Cary works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align best with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time to fit what proves most helpful. Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions by video or phone and options for live chat or text-based messaging - so clients can access support in ways that fit their schedules and circumstances. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions and busy seasons while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor care to individual needs.
