Client-Centered and CBT Approaches for Online Care

Richard Brown uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide online work in ways that fit each person's needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, nonjudgmental environment where the client’s own goals and insights lead the process; it is helpful for building self-awareness, strengthening relationships, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a practical, skills-oriented approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is commonly used for treating anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Richard collaborates with each client to determine which methods suit their goals, preferences, and circumstances. He combines listening with clear treatment planning so the client and therapist can evaluate progress and adjust strategies together.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing sessions to fit into busy schedules and reach clients across locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from a comfortable setting, and choose the communication style that best supports a client’s progress.
