Practical therapy approaches, delivered online with flexibility
Jim Disantis draws from established methods that help clients make sense of what they are going through and take workable steps forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and can be helpful when stress, anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful patterns start to feel stuck.Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes strengths and short-term goals, helping clients identify what is already working and build on it in concrete, realistic ways. Client-Centered Therapy supports a nonjudgmental space where clients can talk openly, clarify values, and feel more confident in their own direction, including when spiritual or religious beliefs are part of the conversation.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jim works collaboratively with clients to understand what they want from therapy and to shape sessions around their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus as life changes.
Online therapy makes it easier to stay consistent even with a busy schedule. Clients can meet through video calls or phone sessions, and can also use live chat or text-based messaging for added flexibility and day-to-day support between sessions.
