Approaches that translate well to online work
Robert commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. CBT is practical and often focuses on day-to-day strategies for anxiety, depression, anger, and workplace stress.He also draws on existential ideas to help people face questions of meaning, purpose, and identity. That work helps when someone feels empty, stuck in a midlife crisis, or is rethinking career and life direction.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative planning can include short-term skills or deeper reflective work depending on what the client wants.
