Approach-Focused Online Therapy with Steven Emerson
Steven integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing into online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients set the pace and goals of sessions; it is especially helpful for building self-esteem and exploring identity-related concerns. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and developing practical strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms. Motivational interviewing helps people clarify their motivations and resolve mixed feelings about change, which can be useful for challenges like addictions or shifting long-standing habits.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Steven works collaboratively with clients to choose and adapt methods based on individual needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility to meet people where they are. Sessions can take place by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules, comfort levels, and communication styles. This range of options makes it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into a busy life.
