Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Richard commonly combines client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people address current problems. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead to create understanding and trust. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and teaches practical skills to change them.He also uses mindfulness techniques to support emotion regulation and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness involves brief exercises and attention practices that help people notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them. These approaches are useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with the person about their goals, preferences, and daily routine and then recommend a mix of methods. Together they track what works and adjust the plan as needed to focus on achievable steps.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill work, while phone sessions can fit into a busy day or reduce bandwidth needs. Live chat and messaging are good for brief check-ins, journaling, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the focus on progress and practical strategies.
