Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Rev. Leonard Shepherd draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and narrative therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, empathetic environment in which clients lead the pace of change and explore personal values and goals - it helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions. CBT offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Narrative therapy helps clients reframe and reshape the stories they tell about their lives, which can be especially helpful for processing trauma, identity matters, and patterns that no longer serve them.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rev. Shepherd works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they can adjust techniques over time to find the most helpful path forward.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility for people with busy schedules or geographic constraints. Sessions can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent care in formats that match a client's comfort and routine.
