Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

William Fenton integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and the Gottman Method into his online practice in ways that suit each personâs needs. Client-centered therapy centers on creating a respectful, empathetic space where the clientâs perspective guides the work and helps with self-exploration and personal growth. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress and to build practical coping skills. The Gottman Method offers structured tools and communication techniques aimed at improving relationship dynamics and resolving conflict for couples.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and William works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. He adapts these approaches to fit individual and relationship needs, adjusting the focus as progress is made.

Online therapy provides flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or to continue work during life transitions. These options allow clients to engage in consistent, goal-oriented care from locations that are convenient for them.
