Using CBT, Client-Centered Care, and Mindfulness Online

Many of Larry's methods adapt well to online settings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or stress. It often uses simple homework and skill-building that works well between video or phone sessions. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's experience and pace, offering listening and reflection to help clarify goals and values. That style fits live conversation formats like video or phone where rapport is built through talk. Mindfulness Therapy teaches brief attention and breathing practices to lower overwhelm and improve focus. These short exercises can be guided during any session type and practiced on one's own afterward.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what feels helpful. Clients and the therapist work together to find the best mix of strategies and session formats that match needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility. Video calls support face-to-face interaction and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, homework check-ins, or ongoing support between appointments. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between sessions.
