Approaches for Online Counseling and Personal Growth



Fred Lombardo draws from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide his online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening deeply and following the client's lead so the person feels understood and supported while exploring their own goals and values; this approach is helpful for clients working on self-esteem, relationships, and life direction. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress or anxiety and teaching practical strategies to shift those patterns, which can be useful for panic, social anxiety, and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Fred collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques over time so care remains responsive and effective.

Online sessions offer flexibility in how therapy happens - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support into a busy life or to engage from a familiar setting. These options help maintain continuity of care and make regular engagement with a licensed professional more accessible for many people.
