Therapeutic approaches and online care

Ben uses client-centered therapy to keep the focus on the client's goals and experience, helping people guide the conversation and decide what to work on. This approach is useful for those who want an exploratory, respectful space to talk about stress, identity, or life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and test unhelpful thoughts and to build practical skills for anxiety, low mood, and ADHD-related challenges. CBT sessions often include short exercises and homework to practice new ways of thinking and acting between meetings.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice patterns in close relationships and shift how they connect and respond. It can be helpful for relationship strains, communication problems, and intimacy-related issues.

Ben treats selecting an approach as a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then adjust methods as work progresses. The plan can change over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video allows fuller interaction and visual cues, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging suits quick check-ins or ongoing support, and text-based work can fit into busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep consistency and fit therapy into a daily routine.
