Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Rick George commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic therapy along with motivational interviewing in his clinical work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Psychodynamic therapy explores how past relationships and unconscious patterns influence current feelings and choices, helping people gain deeper insight into long-standing issues. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people resolve ambivalence and find internal motivation for change, often helpful in addictions and behavior change.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rick works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and he adjusts strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect with licensed professionals and therapists. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, manage appointments from different locations, and maintain continuity of care during life transitions. For many clients, these options increase accessibility and make it simpler to engage consistently in the work of therapy.
