CBT and Existential Approaches Delivered Through Online Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is often used to address stress, anxiety, panic, and depression by teaching practical skills to manage symptoms and respond differently to difficult situations.

Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, values, and the personal choices that shape a person’s life. This approach can be helpful for clients facing grief, life transitions, questions about purpose, or feelings of isolation and loneliness by exploring what matters most and how to live in alignment with those values.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Matthew "Matt" Forbes works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He and the client will discuss options and adjust the plan as work progresses, drawing on licensed professionals' standards and common therapeutic practices.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or to connect from different locations. These options support consistent care and make it possible for clients, including international clients, to access help in ways that suit their schedules and comfort levels.
