How his therapeutic approaches work online
Dr. Bullock commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in his work. CBT involves noticing patterns of thought and testing them against real life, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person's own reasons for change and builds motivation one step at a time, which is often useful for addiction and habit change.Finding the right approach is part of the process. He collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That means trying different techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together as progress unfolds.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life - for example by avoiding travel, allowing short check-ins during a work break, or choosing an audio option when video feels like too much. Ask about available session formats when you schedule so you can pick what matches your routine and needs.
