Approaches for Online Therapy and How They Help
Douglas draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) in his online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead to build self-understanding and resilience - this approach can help with low self-esteem, identity questions, and the emotional fallout of life changes. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and negative automatic thoughts by teaching practical skills for coping. EFT concentrates on understanding and transforming emotional responses in relationships, which can be especially useful for attachment issues, grief, and relational conflicts.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Douglas works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts methods from these approaches to suit individual circumstances and combines them where helpful.
Online therapy with Douglas is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and geographic constraints, and they allow therapy to continue for people who are living abroad or who prefer remote care from licensed professionals and therapists.
