Integrating Therapeutic Approaches into Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps them explore values, goals, and strengths. This approach is helpful for people seeking understanding, personal growth, or help navigating major life decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured method that helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday struggles where practical skill-building can reduce distress.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that works with the way traumatic memories are processed, aiming to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and their impact on daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mark Smalley works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques over time so the plan reflects what is working and what needs adjustment.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls or phone sessions, and some work can continue through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, access licensed professionals from different locations, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult.
