Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

John Bradford integrates approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to address the concerns clients bring to online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take meaningful action toward a life they value - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and difficulty coping with change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for mood concerns, anxiety, and anger management. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, respectful therapeutic relationship that supports self-discovery and builds confidence, often helping with self-esteem and motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and John works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors techniques and pacing so the work aligns with what the client hopes to achieve.

Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to schedule care around work, family, or mobility limitations. These remote options let clients access licensed professionals and therapists from their own environments while maintaining continuity of care and enabling regular, practical support for ongoing challenges.
