How his approaches work for online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and responding with empathy. It helps when someone needs to be heard and wants to shape goals at their own pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. It teaches practical ways to test and change those patterns, which can reduce anxiety, low mood, and trouble sleeping.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving how people handle stress. These tools help when feelings spike or coping feels unsafe.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Christian will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and daily life. That joint planning can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
