Therapeutic approaches for online care and healing
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client's experience guides the work. This approach helps people gain clarity about their values and build confidence to make changes that matter in their relationships, work, and daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and other mood or stress-related concerns because it emphasizes concrete strategies and measurable progress.
Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of past traumatic experiences by helping clients process memories, reduce their impact on daily functioning, and develop stronger coping tools. It can be beneficial for those managing post-traumatic stress, trauma-related reactions, and the long-term emotional consequences of abuse or loss.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Derrick works with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adapts methods to fit each person’s situation rather than relying on a single model.
Offering sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging increases flexibility for scheduling and lets clients choose the format that best fits their life. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods, while accessing licensed professionals from different locations when needed.
