How his approaches translate to online therapy

Dr. Seavy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach works well for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people clarify their own reasons for change and boost commitment to goals. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, practical steps and measurable progress rather than long reviews of the past.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. He will work with each person to match methods to their goals, priorities, and daily life. That means trying practical tools, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed so sessions stay relevant and useful.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video can be used for deeper, face-to-face conversation; phone calls can fit a short break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are useful for quick check-ins, ongoing coaching-style support, and keeping momentum between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
