Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care
Charles McBride integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and EMDR into online practice to meet a range of needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where clients are listened to and supported while they discover their own solutions - helpful for relationship concerns, identity questions, and general life transitions.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new ways of thinking and behaving; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and coping with change. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) targets troubling memories and the emotions tied to them, and can be useful for trauma-related reactions when applied by a trained practitioner.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Charles McBride collaborates with clients to determine which methods best fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adapting techniques as progress unfolds.
