Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, collaborative relationship where the therapist listens closely and helps the person explore their values and goals. This approach is useful for people seeking a supportive space to clarify priorities, improve self-esteem, and work through relationship or identity concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify patterns of thought that contribute to anxiety, depression, or unhelpful behaviors and then learns practical skills to shift those patterns. It is often recommended for mood and anxiety symptoms, stress management, and coping with life changes.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes setting concrete, achievable goals and identifying strengths and resources that can be used right away. It is especially helpful for people who want practical strategies and measurable progress in areas like parenting, workplace issues, or problem-solving in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Danny Ludwig works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility to meet with licensed professionals by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and access support from home or work. These options can increase consistency and convenience while preserving the therapeutic focus on meaningful change.
