Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

David Lambert draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy in his work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, respect, and unconditional acceptance so clients can explore their goals and values; it is helpful for relationship concerns, identity work, and general coping. CBT offers practical tools to identify and reshape unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related problems. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-focused attention and acceptance practices that can reduce rumination and support emotional regulation for issues like grief, stress, and insomnia.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and David collaborates with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. He integrates techniques as appropriate and adapts the plan over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for busy schedules, limited mobility, or those living far from local services. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact, practice skills between sessions, and access licensed professionals from home or other convenient settings.
