Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Bullock commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing alongside client-centered principles to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress, offering practical strategies for symptom reduction and daily functioning. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, strengths-based method that supports clients who are ambivalent about change - for example, in substance use, lifestyle shifts, or health behavior adjustments. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and partnership, creating space for clients to explore values, relationships, and life purpose while shaping the pace and goals of therapy.
