Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Grant uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT offers practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Existential Therapy is used to explore meaning, values, and personal responsibility when clients face life transitions, feelings of emptiness, or questions about purpose. This approach focuses on helping individuals clarify what matters most to them and make choices aligned with their values. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that supports people who are ambivalent about change - it emphasizes strengthening personal motivation and building a plan for steps forward, which can be useful for addiction, behavior change, and goal attainment.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Grant works collaboratively with clients to assess their needs, goals, and preferences and to tailor techniques from these approaches so they fit each person’s situation and pace.

These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow clients to engage in therapy from familiar environments while working with licensed professionals and therapists who adapt methods to remote formats.
