How his approaches translate to online work
Dean draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and to plan small behavioral experiments. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day coping problems because it focuses on practical changes in thinking and action.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person’s experience and priorities. This approach makes room for listening and reflecting so clients can clarify what matters to them. Motivational Interviewing is used when people feel stuck or unsure about change; it helps uncover personal reasons to try new strategies and supports readiness to act.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. He collaborates with clients to choose approaches that match goals, preferences, and what is happening in their life right now. That selection can shift as goals become clearer.
