Approaches and Online Support for Practical Change
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the relationship between therapist and client, offering empathy and nonjudgmental support so individuals can explore their values and goals and build self-directed change. This approach helps when people need a supportive space to process feelings and clarify what matters to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical tools to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance skills that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Zachary works collaboratively with clients and other licensed professionals to tailor methods to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. He values ongoing dialogue about what is and is not working so the plan can adapt over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility in scheduling and access, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, bridge geographic distance, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not feasible.
