Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. White uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to symptoms like anxiety and depression. CBT is practical and skills-focused, often helping clients develop coping strategies and tools to manage day-to-day challenges.

This approach can be useful for people working through trauma, attachment concerns, and recurrent relationship difficulties by increasing self-understanding and emotional awareness.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Dr. White works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will consider which techniques and perspectives best support progress and well-being.

Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to access care from home or work.

These options can help sustain continuity of care and make it simpler to integrate therapy into a busy life.
