Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Brian draws on existential therapy to help people examine meaning, choice, and the sense of emptiness that can come with big life questions. Existential work focuses on values, responsibility, and how choices shape daily life, which can help when someone feels directionless or disconnected.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety or low mood. CBT offers clear exercises and homework that translate well to online sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used to manage strong emotions, reduce impulsivity, and improve communication through practical skill training.
Choosing the best approach is a joint effort. Brian will discuss goals, try methods in session, and adjust plans based on what helps most. This collaborative process makes it easier to find approaches that fit a person's needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face, phone sessions can be lighter on bandwidth, and messaging is useful for brief check-ins or practicing skills between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or busy family routines while keeping focus on progress and practical tools.
