Practical approaches for online change
Robin often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is useful for anger, anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks problems into concrete steps people can practice.He also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find personal reasons to change. This approach focuses on the client’s own goals and strengths, which can be helpful for addictions, motivation struggles, and getting through big life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Robin works collaboratively with each person to figure out which methods match their goals and preferences. He adapts plans based on progress and what feels most useful to the client.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are close to an in-person visit and work well for deeper conversations. Phone sessions or live chat can be easier when bandwidth or a shorter check-in is needed. Text-based messaging lets clients share updates and work through small steps between scheduled sessions.
