How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Dr. Holton commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy when working with clients. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on helping people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to improve coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so that the client’s priorities guide the pace and content of sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is done collaboratively. He will work with each person to clarify goals, try strategies that align with their needs, and adjust the plan over time so the methods used reflect the client’s preferences and progress.

Online therapy here is offered through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options make it possible to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue work between appointments, and maintain momentum on goals even when in-person meetings are not practical. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and client-centered practices effectively to these remote formats to support ongoing growth and coping.
