He emphasizes honoring each personĂ¢s unique experiences and identifying the strengths that have helped them arrive at this moment.

Client-Focused Approaches for Online Care



Client-Centered Therapy centers the individual, creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person s priorities guide the work. This approach supports people who need help clarifying goals, building self-understanding, and finding their own solutions to relationship, identity, or life transition challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for stress, anxiety, depression, and habit-related concerns, providing practical skills to manage symptoms and tackle everyday problems.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a trauma-informed method that supports processing distressing memories and reducing the intensity of traumatic reactions. It is typically used for people who have experienced trauma and are seeking relief from associated symptoms.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Ian works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. He draws from these methods to tailor care rather than applying a single technique to everyone.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access licensed professionals from different settings and schedules. This variety of formats can make it easier to maintain consistency in care and to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
