Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Robert Mace often integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into his online work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and supporting clients to find their own solutions - it is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and navigating life changes. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaching practical strategies to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping skills. He also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to help clients cultivate present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, a useful complement for stress, emotion regulation, and chronic pain management.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Robert collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as learning and progress unfold. The emphasis remains on teaching concise, usable self-therapy tools that clients can practice between sessions.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility: sessions can be scheduled as video calls, conducted by phone, or supported through live chat and text-based messaging. Robert prefers video for richer interaction but encourages asynchronous messaging and journaling to reinforce skills between meetings, making it easier for people to integrate therapy into busy lives.
