Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Paul Jaffe uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where each person’s goals and values guide the work. This approach helps with relationship concerns, life purpose questions, and building self-compassion by focusing on the client’s strengths and choices.He also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and develop alternative coping strategies. CBT is often useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and patterns that fuel addictive behaviors.
Mindfulness therapy is offered for clients who want techniques to reduce reactivity and cultivate present-moment awareness. These practices can support emotional regulation, reduce rumination, and aid in coping with grief and loss.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Paul works collaboratively with each person to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. He combines methods as appropriate rather than using a single model exclusively.
Online therapy sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility and wider access to care. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to maintain continuity of support across different locations and schedules.
