Person-Centered and CBT Approaches for Online Care

Ian uses a Person-Centered approach and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online sessions. Person-Centered work focuses on listening closely, respecting the client’s perspective, and creating space for people to explore their own solutions - it is especially helpful for building self-awareness, improving relationships, and addressing family or parenting concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a practical, skills-based approach that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more effective strategies - it is commonly used for anxiety, stress, depression, and ADHD-related challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ian collaborates with each client to determine which techniques and goals best match their needs, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with Ian is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity when life is unpredictable, and access consistent support from licensed professionals without the need to travel.
