Approaches for Online and Remote Therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where a person’s own goals and perspectives guide the work. It helps when someone needs encouragement to explore feelings, clarify values, or build confidence in decision making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, structured approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and many stress-related problems. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversation style designed to help people strengthen their own motivation for change; it is especially useful for addictions, stopping or reducing harmful behaviors, and making life adjustments.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Steve Barber works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and adapts plans as the work progresses. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine techniques to match what will be most helpful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support when in-person appointments are difficult to arrange.
