Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Madison Bentley draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to guide his online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, helping clients explore their values and build on existing strengths to find meaningful change. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy offers practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Madison works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and he adapts techniques over time so the treatment feels relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow clients to receive consistent care around work, family, or mobility constraints and to use the communication style that fits them best. Licensed professionals can deliver these evidence-based approaches effectively through remote formats, making it easier to maintain progress between sessions.
