Therapeutic approaches and online care



Dr. Jared Gorfinkel uses client-centered therapy to build a respectful, collaborative space where the person's experience guides the work - this approach helps with relationship concerns, identity questions, and emotional processing by focusing on empathy and acceptance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress through structured techniques and behavioral experiments. Mindfulness therapy incorporates present-moment awareness and simple attention practices to reduce ruminative thinking and improve emotional regulation, which can be helpful for grief, trauma responses, and ongoing stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Gorfinkel collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time so therapy fits the individual rather than the other way around. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine methods to tailor care.

Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions can take place by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit regular work on relationships, mood, and coping skills into a busy life. These options increase accessibility and allow continuity of care across different circumstances.
