How his approaches translate to online sessions
Christopher commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT offers concrete exercises and short experiments that translate well to remote sessions and homework between meetings.He also draws on client-centered methods that focus on a person's goals and pace. That approach keeps the work collaborative, so the therapist and client check in about what is helpful and adjust the plan together. Mindfulness techniques are used to increase awareness of bodily sensations and patterns of thinking, which can reduce reactivity to stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christopher will work with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative choice helps set clear goals and practical steps to try between meetings.
