Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care
James uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s priorities guide the work - this approach helps people explore values, increase self-awareness, and build motivation for change. He also incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical, skills-based approach that helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and teaches concrete strategies to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Motivational interviewing is used as needed to strengthen motivation for change, particularly when addressing substance use or other behaviors that feel difficult to alter.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. James works with each person to tailor methods to their goals, preferences, and circumstances so that therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet with a licensed professional - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access care from home or other convenient locations, all while allowing therapists and clients to focus on progress and practical outcomes.
