Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
John Brooks uses evidence-informed approaches adapted for remote work to address a wide range of concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and build small, value-driven actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise - it is often useful for stress, anxiety, and patterns that keep people stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and early patterns of connection, exploring how attachment experiences shape current bonds and helping people improve closeness and trust in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practices concrete skills to change them, making it helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. John collaborates with clients to select and adjust methods based on individual needs, goals, and preferences, and he encourages open conversation about what is or is not working so the care can be tailored.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, connect from distant locations, and maintain continuity of care when circumstances change, while allowing licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent, ongoing support.
