How his approaches guide online work
He commonly uses cognitive-behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy in his work. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety or depression. Solution-focused work looks for practical steps and small changes that move a person toward their goals.He also draws on emotionally-focused ideas to help people identify and name feelings that influence relationships and intimacy. That approach can clarify how emotions shape interactions and what to try differently in close relationships.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and then decide which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.
