Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care
Garon draws on client-centred therapy to create a collaborative, respectful environment where the client’s experience guides the pace and focus of sessions - this approach helps with self-exploration, building confidence, and resolving relationship or identity concerns.He also uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and to develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress. CBT is often useful for people seeking structured tools to change patterns that interfere with daily life.
Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) techniques are incorporated when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness are priorities. These skills-based practices support clients dealing with intense emotions, impulsive behaviours, or relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Garon works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. He partners with clients to try different techniques and adapt the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care from home or work. These formats increase flexibility and accessibility, allowing clients to engage with licensed professionals and therapists in ways that suit their schedules and comfort levels.
