Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes the client's own goals and strengths, creating a collaborative environment where the therapist offers empathy and support while the client leads the pace and focus of change. This approach helps with self-esteem, life direction, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skills practice, which is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with change. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps partners and individuals identify and reframe emotional patterns that affect relationships, supporting deeper connection and improved communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. James works with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, making adjustments over time in a collaborative way so therapy remains aligned with what the client wants to achieve.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations while using the therapeutic approaches that best support each person's growth.
