Approaches to Change and Support Through Online Therapy



John uses evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside a client-centered stance to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and learn practical ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that matter to them - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, often providing concrete strategies for managing symptoms of depression, panic, and ongoing anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore their experience and build self-directed change.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the journey. John partners with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so therapy feels practical and relevant.

Online sessions - whether by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for scheduling, reduce travel time, and allow people to access licensed professionals from more convenient locations. These options support continuity of care and make it easier to maintain progress during busy or transitional periods.
