Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Dr. Paul Abney draws on client-centered therapy to put the person and their experience at the center of the work. This approach emphasizes empathetic listening and collaborative exploration, helping people clarify values, build self-worth, and navigate relationship and life-change concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns - a practical approach often applied to anxiety, motivation challenges, and coping skills development. Existential therapy invites clients to examine meaning, choices, and personal responsibility, which can be helpful for those facing midlife questions, life transitions, or struggles with purpose.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Abney works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best align with their goals, needs, and preferences. He tailors the work as understanding deepens and priorities evolve.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules, geographic distance, and varying communication preferences. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access licensed professionals when and how it fits into daily life.
