Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Thomas Floyd integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy into his online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy and helping clients define their own goals - it can be especially helpful for building self-esteem, exploring motivation, and processing grief. CBT is a structured approach that looks at the relationships between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; it is often used to address anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical strategies for coping and problem solving. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-focused awareness and gentle attention to thoughts and sensations - this can support stress reduction, emotion regulation, and improved focus.Choosing the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Thomas works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adapts techniques over time as progress and challenges unfold. Clients participate in decisions about treatment direction and pacing.
Online therapy with Thomas is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit work, family, and mobility needs. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access sessions from different locations, and choose formats that feel most comfortable while working toward personal goals with licensed professionals and therapists.
