Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care and Growth

Dr. Holton draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to guide his online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting relationship and shaping sessions around the client’s priorities, which helps when someone is navigating life transitions, identity concerns, or relationship challenges. CBT is a practical, skills-based approach that explores the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with change.

He may also integrate elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or relationship dynamics are central concerns. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for trauma responses, anger, and patterns of impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Holton works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to identify goals, test strategies, and adapt techniques to an individual’s needs and preferences. Online therapy with Dr. Holton offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from a distance.
