Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well Online
John Engebretson draws from several approaches that can work well in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and building practical skills to respond differently, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and anger. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, helping clients feel heard while clarifying goals and strengthening self-understanding. Motivational interviewing is a supportive, nonjudgmental method for working through ambivalence and building momentum, often helpful when someone is considering changes related to habits, substance use, or day-to-day coping.Finding the right approach is part of the process. John works collaboratively with clients to understand what they want to change, what has and has not helped before, and what feels manageable right now. Together, the focus can shift as needs evolve, whether the priority is symptom relief, healthier relationships, or navigating a major life transition.
Online therapy also offers flexible ways to connect. Clients can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to stay consistent even with busy schedules, travel, or limited local options.
