Approaches and online options for practical, people-centered therapy

David draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and solution-focused therapy to tailor support to each person’s needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic relationship in which the client’s own perspective guides the work - it is useful for building self-understanding and emotional resilience. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on goals and practical steps, helping clients identify strengths and small changes that lead to noticeable improvement.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and David works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. He adapts techniques from these methods to create a personalised plan that focuses on progress and achievable outcomes.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in this work - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access support from different locations. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to maintain continuity of care and to respond in formats that suit each client’s communication style and availability.
