Therapeutic approaches and online care with Kevin Stroud

Kevin integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing into his online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and unconditional positive regard, helping clients feel heard and supported while they explore values, relationships, and personal goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learning practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative way to address ambivalence about change and to strengthen motivation for steps like recovery from addictions or making life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. Kevin collaborates with each client to identify which methods align best with their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy feels relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to access licensed professionals from home or during busy schedules. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, accommodate varying comfort levels with communication, and fit therapy into everyday life.
