Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Gezhou Li
Gezhou Li draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and EMDR to tailor support to each person. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting relationship and creating a nonjudgmental space where individuals can explore their feelings and goals; it is useful for people seeking empathy, clarity, and stronger self-direction. CBT is a skills-based approach that helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more balanced thoughts and behaviors - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep difficulties. EMDR is a structured method for processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional impact, often helpful for those who have experienced abuse, assault, or other traumatic events.Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. Gezhou works with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommends or combines approaches that best support their progress. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in treatment choices and supports gradual, sustainable change.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow people to receive care from licensed professionals without travel, to fit sessions into busy schedules, and to maintain continuity of care across locations, including for international clients. Gezhou uses these formats to adapt to each person’s needs while focusing on practical strategies and emotional growth.
