How Brett Uses Practical Therapies Online

Brett commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that affect relationships and work. He also uses client-centered therapy, which centers on listening, empathy, and the person's own goals to guide each session.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brett collaborates with each person to decide whether CBT, client-centered work, mindfulness exercises, or solution-focused steps will fit best. He tailors the plan to the person's goals, pace, and day-to-day life so therapy feels relevant and doable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people meet face-to-face without travel. Phone sessions can be easier when video isn't needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it simpler to fit sessions around work, family, and other responsibilities.
