Therapy Approaches That Translate Well Online

Charles May draws from several evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in an online format. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive space where clients can explore what they are feeling and what they want to change, helping build insight, self-trust, and direction when life feels overwhelming.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact. It often includes practical strategies to notice unhelpful patterns and try new responses, which can be especially useful for concerns like stress, anxiety, anger, or low mood. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused style that helps clients work through ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, including around substance use or other habits that feel hard to shift.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Charles works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what has or has not been helpful in the past, then adjusts the plan together as needs evolve.

Online therapy also offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule and access therapy from wherever you are in Texas.
