Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Kevin uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, collaborative space where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach focuses on empathy, active listening, and tailoring conversations to what the client identifies as most important, which can be especially helpful for people navigating life changes, relationship concerns, or long-standing emotional challenges.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another core approach Kevin employs. CBT helps people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depressive symptoms, and stress. It often involves setting concrete goals and practicing skills between sessions.
Mindfulness therapy complements these methods by teaching simple attention and grounding practices that can reduce reactivity to difficult emotions and improve sleep and mood regulation. These techniques can be useful alongside other interventions for trauma, anger, and compulsive patterns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kevin works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. Online therapy makes this collaborative work accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling, consistent contact between sessions, and options that suit different communication styles and daily routines.
