Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Dr. Noles draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and solution-focused therapy to tailor online sessions to each person's needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance that helps people explore their feelings and build self-understanding; it is often helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem work, and life transitions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to improve coping skills. Solution-focused therapy is brief and goal-oriented, concentrating on practical steps and strengths that move a person toward specific outcomes, which can be useful for stress reduction and short-term problem solving.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. He collaborates with each person to determine which strategies fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress is made. This collaborative method helps ensure that therapy aligns with what each person wants to achieve.

Online appointments via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and those who live farther from office locations. These options allow licensed professionals to provide continuity of care, accommodate different communication styles, and make it easier to engage in therapy from a convenient setting.
