Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Steven draws on client-centered therapy, which prioritizes empathetic listening and a supportive, nonjudgmental stance to help people explore their values and find their own solutions. This approach is well suited to emotional processing, identity questions, and life transitions where personal meaning matters.

He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a skills-focused method that helps identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches practical strategies to manage anxiety, stress, and depressive symptoms. CBT can be especially helpful for clients seeking clear tools to change daily habits and reactions.

Finally, solution-focused therapy offers a brief, goal-oriented way to clarify priorities and build small, achievable steps toward change, making it useful for career decisions, relationship improvements, and specific coping goals. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - Steven works collaboratively with each person, discussing options and tailoring methods to fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging can make regular therapy more flexible and accessible. These options allow clients to attend sessions from different locations, fit care around work and family obligations, and continue consistent progress with a licensed professional despite geographic or scheduling constraints.
