How his approaches are used in online sessions
Sam uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns that keep problems going and to test small behavioral changes. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, stress, coping with life changes, and many day-to-day problems.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and working from the client’s own goals and values. This approach helps when someone needs to clarify priorities, process grief, or make sense of difficult life decisions.
Sam approaches choosing methods as a collaborative process. He will work with the client to see which approach fits the problem, goals, and personal preferences. That fit can be adjusted as sessions continue, with choices based on what proves helpful.
