Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to stress, anxiety, and mood difficulties. It is practical and skill-focused, offering tools to manage symptoms and change patterns that get in the way of everyday functioning. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that helps people explore and resolve their mixed feelings about change. It is especially useful when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about taking steps toward different habits or healthier choices.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Ian collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. Together they tailor an approach that balances short-term problem solving with longer-term growth, adjusting methods as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to connect from home or other convenient locations and to choose formats that feel most comfortable. These options support continuity of care and make it simpler to maintain momentum between sessions with licensed professionals and therapists who can adapt to each client’s needs.
