Therapeutic approaches and online options
Todd often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy to meet immediate needs and long-term goals. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead so people feel heard and respected; it is useful for building trust and exploring personal values. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Todd works collaboratively to choose or combine methods based on each person’s goals, preferences, and life situation. He checks in regularly and adjusts techniques so the work stays relevant and achievable.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be quieter and use less bandwidth when video is difficult. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or other time demands.
