Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Eric Mason commonly uses client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing in his work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space so clients can explore their feelings and values and develop greater self-understanding - it is often helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to change them; it is effective for anxiety, depression, mood regulation, and coping with stress. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people find their own reasons for change and is especially useful for addictions and ambivalence about behavior change.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. He works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time to support progress. Licensed professionals aim to tailor the work to the individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity through transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working with a licensed therapist.
