Approaches in Online Therapy with Client-Centered Care

Dr. Larry Andrews draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work in ways that are accessible and practical. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration - the therapist follows the client's lead to build trust and explore personal goals, which helps with relationship concerns, grief, and identity issues. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and developing skills to change behaviors and emotional responses, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, mood concerns, and habit-related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Andrews works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, making adjustments as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy stays relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins are possible via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule consistent sessions, maintain momentum between meetings, and access support from licensed professionals when and where it is most helpful.
