Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with David Reid
John "David" Reid draws on client-centered therapy to create a collaborative and respectful space where the personʼs experience guides the work - the therapist follows the clientʼs lead, listens deeply, and helps clarify goals and values. He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT is practical and helps with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and addiction-related thinking. Mindfulness therapy is another approach he uses, teaching simple attention and awareness practices that can reduce reactivity and support coping with trauma, stress, and cravings. These approaches are commonly used by licensed professionals and therapists and are selected to match the individual needs presented.Finding the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process, and David works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. He encourages open discussion about what is or is not working and adjusts the plan over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to attend sessions around work, family, or other commitments. David emphasizes regular connection, including at least occasional video sessions, to maintain rapport and effectiveness while benefiting from the accessibility that remote care provides.
