Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Melvin Ferris draws on several well-established methods to tailor care to each person. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore their values, build self-esteem, and develop a clearer sense of direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools that help with anxiety, depression, stress, and anger. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) provides a structured way to process distressing memories and reduce the hold that traumatic experiences can have on daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ferris works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts techniques as therapy progresses to ensure the best fit. The aim is to combine effective strategies with the client’s own strengths to support meaningful change.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care when travel or mobility is a concern, and engage with licensed professionals in formats that suit different communication styles.
