Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral Approaches Online

Client-centered therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship in which the client sets the pace and focus of work. This approach is useful for people seeking greater self-understanding, support during life transitions, and improvements in self-esteem and relationships.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT offers practical strategies that can help with symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and other mood-related concerns by teaching skills to manage reactions and solve problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Lockton works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and to determine whether a client-centered stance, CBT techniques, or a blend of methods will best support progress.

Online therapy with Dr. Lockton is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, make it easier to maintain consistent sessions during busy periods or life changes, and allow clients to access licensed professionals from their own communities.
