Therapeutic approaches tailored for online care
David Kranson draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based techniques to support people in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship and helping clients identify their own goals - it is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and times of transition. CBT examines patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic, and depressive thinking, making it helpful for mood and stress-related issues. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and strategies to manage stress, cravings, and emotional reactivity, which can be beneficial for addiction, anger, and trauma-related symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kranson works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then tailors techniques and a treatment plan to fit what will be most effective for them. This collaborative process helps clients stay engaged and focused on measurable progress.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care from home, while still working with licensed professionals who provide structured, evidence-informed support.
