Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support
John often uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the conversation and goals. This approach helps people who need empathy and acceptance while they explore personal values and choices. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact and offers concrete techniques to change unhelpful patterns; CBT is often useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress-related difficulties. For clients needing skills in emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness, elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy are used to teach practical tools for managing intense feelings and improving relationships.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and John works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review options and adapt methods over time so treatment remains relevant and effective for the individual's life.
