How Andrew’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy starts by listening and helping clients tell their story in their own words. This approach focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and building on strengths to set practical goals.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns, try new behaviors, and reduce anxiety or low mood through concrete exercises.
Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on responses to past harm and teaches ways to manage strong reactions. It includes pacing work so memories and triggers can be addressed without overwhelming the person.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and current needs to recommend what to try first and adjust methods over time. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively on the plan.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also make it simpler to maintain regular sessions while managing work, family, or other responsibilities.
