How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead to build understanding and clarify goals. It helps when someone needs space to talk through anxiety, relationship concerns, or life changes. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change and make small, manageable steps toward those goals. It works well for changing habits, career moves, or shifting difficult patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He treats approach choice as collaborative - clients and therapist try methods and decide what feels most helpful based on needs and goals. That means plans may shift as progress is made or new priorities emerge.
