Therapy approaches and how they work online
Dr. Richmond integrates client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people make change. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding your perspective, and helping you name what matters most. It suits people who want a supportive setting to think things through and set personal goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is practical and skills-based. It helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that cause distress and replaces them with clearer, action-oriented steps. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems, and anger or stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together. The therapist will ask about your needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend a mix of methods. He works collaboratively to adjust the plan as you go so the sessions stay useful and relevant.
