Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the individual's experience, offering empathy and acceptance while the client explores personal values, feelings, and goals. It is helpful for people seeking a supportive setting to clarify identity, improve self-esteem, and work through relational concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and simple attention practices to reduce ruminative thinking and improve emotional regulation, which can complement other therapeutic work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Todd Mangini collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting strategies as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions so therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow people to engage in therapy from different locations and on varied schedules, making it easier to maintain continuity of care. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to deliver structured, ongoing support while accommodating the practical demands of daily life.
