Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on respect, empathy, and a steady therapeutic relationship. It can be especially helpful when someone wants space to explore identity, stress, anxiety, or mood concerns at their own pace while clarifying what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions influence one another. It can support clients who want tools for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, or ADHD-related challenges by helping them notice patterns and try new strategies in everyday life.
Narrative Therapy invites people to examine the stories they have had to carry and to separate themselves from the problems they are facing. This approach can be useful when shame, guilt, trauma-related experiences, or major life transitions have started to define how someone sees themselves.
Finding the right fit is part of the process. Jude Patton collaborates with clients to choose approaches that match their goals, preferences, and current circumstances, adjusting over time as needs change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This can make it easier to keep momentum between sessions, access support from a comfortable setting, and fit therapy into busy schedules or changing energy levels.
