Approaches and Flexibility for Online Therapy

Mark Gruber draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing to tailor online care to each person's needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients explore their goals and values while the therapist offers empathy and support - this approach is useful for building trust and addressing personal or identity-related concerns.

CBT is a practical, skills-based method that helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop strategies to manage anxiety, low mood, and everyday stressors. Sessions often include concrete exercises and symptom-focused work that translate well to remote formats. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative style that helps people strengthen their own motivation for change, which can be particularly helpful for substance use and readiness-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mark works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds. Online therapy offers practical benefits - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow for flexible scheduling, consistent access across distances, and the ability to continue work during life transitions. Licensed professionals can use these remote options to maintain continuity of care and meet clients where they are.
