How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Dr. Riecks uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; CBT is practical and often focuses on developing skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. He also integrates Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathic listening and creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their concerns and values at their own pace. These approaches are shared in simple, actionable terms so clients can practice new skills between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which combination of strategies fits their goals, preferences, and life situation. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on progress and feedback, so clients help shape the direction of care.
Online therapy with Dr. Riecks offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing sessions to fit into varied schedules and time zones. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access consistent support, and practice therapeutic tools in the contexts where clients live and work.
