Approaches That Inform Online Therapeutic Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the therapist's attuned, nonjudgmental presence and follows the client's priorities to build insight and emotional resilience. This approach is helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and navigating life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies and skill building. CBT can be effective for anxiety, depression, stress management, and many day-to-day coping challenges.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing traumatic memories and reducing their ongoing impact, using structured methods suited to trauma-related symptoms. It is applied with care for individuals who have experienced abuse, violence, or other significant traumatic events.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. David Thomas works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to tailor a plan that fits each person's situation. He helps guide decisions about which methods align best with the client's objectives.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, or other commitments and support continuity of treatment for clients who travel or live far from in-person services.
