Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Dr. Allen Riggs draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support clients in an online setting. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping a person explore their own goals and values to build self-understanding and resilience - it often helps with issues like self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a skills-based approach that identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve coping. Motivational interviewing is also used to help people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, especially useful for addiction, lifestyle adjustments, and readiness to tackle difficult goals.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Dr. Riggs collaborates with each person to identify approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress unfolds so therapy feels personalized and goal-focused.
Online therapy with Dr. Riggs offers flexible access by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue care from different locations. These options help maintain continuity of support while allowing therapists and licensed professionals to tailor sessions to each client’s preferred format.
