Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Stephen commonly draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness therapy in his remote work. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding the person s perspective and creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client s goals guide the work. It helps with self-esteem, relationship challenges, and deciding next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and patterns and uses practical strategies to reduce anxiety and improve mood and performance. It is often helpful for stress, worry, and work-related issues. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-focused awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve concentration, which can support emotional regulation and performance under pressure.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Stephen collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and achievable.
Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, online therapy provides flexibility for busy schedules, travel, and varied comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit consistent work into life and maintain momentum between sessions while still working with licensed professionals and experienced therapists to address stress, anxiety, career concerns, and performance goals.
