How targeted approaches work online

Dr. Moore often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally focused therapy in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) helps people understand emotional patterns in close relationships and teaches new ways to connect and respond.

He also draws on client-centered principles to keep sessions grounded in each person's experience. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process - the therapist and client discuss goals and try methods that fit the person's situation and preferences. Sessions may mix techniques so the work stays practical and outcome-focused.

Online care is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and deep conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or tracking progress between longer sessions.
