How CBT and Client-Centered Work Translate to Online Care
Dr. Parker employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients recognize and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, and low mood. CBT sessions typically focus on concrete strategies and skills for problem solving, behavioral experiments, and practicing new responses to everyday challenges.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the client's perspectives and priorities and seeks to provide empathic understanding and nonjudgmental support. This approach helps people explore motivations, values, and relationship dynamics at a pace that feels right for them.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; Dr. Parker will work with each person to determine which combination of methods best matches their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they set aims for therapy and adjust techniques as progress unfolds.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access care from different locations within California. These formats allow for ongoing skill practice and timely support, while enabling continuity of care when in-person meetings are not convenient.
