How his approaches translate to online sessions
Preston commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered work in session. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors in daily life, which can help with anxiety, depression, and obsessive-compulsive concerns. Client-centered work emphasizes listening, reflecting, and building a trusting conversational rhythm to clarify what matters most to the person.He also uses motivational interviewing to help people weigh options and strengthen their own reasons for change. That approach is practical and goal-oriented, useful when someone feels stuck or is deciding on next steps. Deciding which combination of methods to use is collaborative; he will work with each person to match goals, preferences, and the issues they bring to sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit around school, work, or caregiving. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or let someone avoid travel time and arrange sessions during a lunch break or between commitments.
