Therapeutic approaches for online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and patterns related to addiction and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental observation of thoughts and feelings, which can help with stress management, emotional regulation, and coping with difficult experiences. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps clients explore ambivalence and strengthen their motivation to change, often used in work on substance use and behavior change.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jared collaborates with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, using practices common among licensed professionals and therapists. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to what will be most useful for the individual.
Online therapy offers practical benefits by making sessions more flexible and accessible. Video calls and phone sessions allow real-time conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging provide options for shorter or more frequent check-ins. These modalities make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care from a distance.
