How his approaches fit with online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to each person. In practice that means the therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects feelings, and helps people clarify their own goals and values. It can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, and making sense of emotions.

Motivational Interviewing concentrates on finding a person’s own motivation for change. The therapist asks open questions, highlights strengths, and helps clients weigh pros and cons so they can decide what steps feel doable. This approach is often useful for addiction, impulsivity, and when someone feels stuck.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps that produce real improvements. Sessions identify what already works and build on it with short-term, concrete goals. It’s practical for coping with life changes, relationship challenges, and stress management.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is seen. Clients and the therapist make decisions together about what feels most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer sessions, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing notes between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work between sessions.
