Approaches and Online Care with a Collaborative Focus



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills to change behaviors and emotional responses. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns where structured strategies and homework can support progress.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead. This approach supports personal growth, self-exploration, and decisions about identity and relationships, and can be especially useful for LGBTIQA+ concerns.

Motivational Interviewing focuses on exploring and resolving ambivalence to help clients find their own reasons for change. It pairs well with other therapies when clients are considering behavior change or facing life transitions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Preston Mannon works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts tools over time based on what is most effective for each person.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and continued care across different settings. These formats make it easier for clients to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain consistent support when in-person sessions are not feasible.
