Approaches Christopher Uses for Online Therapy
Christopher Standish integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing into his online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the therapist listens closely and helps clients explore their feelings and values - useful for relationship issues, self-esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be effective for anxiety, stress, and depressive symptoms. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change - often used for issues like substance use, motivation, and behavior change.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christopher works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods best align with each person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy with Christopher is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support without lengthy commutes and allow clients to choose the format that fits their daily life.
