Approach-Focused Online Therapy for Practical Change

John Aaron Foster integrates several evidence-informed approaches into online work to help clients meet goals in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain distress and teaching concrete strategies to shift those patterns - beneficial for anxiety, depression, and motivation challenges. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and acceptance to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can be helpful for stress, rumination, and relationship tension. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes clarifying personal values and taking committed action even in the presence of difficult thoughts or feelings, supporting clients facing life transitions and questions of purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Foster works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time to find what proves most helpful. This collaborative stance helps clients feel engaged and supported in choosing strategies that fit their life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including 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 changes, and access licensed professionals from a convenient location while working toward practical, sustainable change.
