How Theodore’s approaches work in online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what you share, and helps you find goals that feel right. This approach is useful when the main need is to be heard and to make decisions that match your values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It breaks worries and habits into smaller parts and tests new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and repetitive or compulsive patterns.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people recognize strong emotions and how those emotions shape relationships and choices. It can be useful when someone wants clearer emotional awareness and healthier ways to connect or cope.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Theodore will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that match those goals. Together you can adjust techniques as progress is made and priorities change.
If you prefer online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy day, reducing travel time, and making it easier to attend shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about specific scheduling details when you complete the matching questionnaire.
