How his approaches work in online sessions
Erwin often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice the thoughts that feed anger and test small, different responses. CBT focuses on practical experiments and changes in thinking that can shift behavior and mood.He also uses client-centered therapy which prioritizes listening and reflecting so people can clarify what matters to them and decide on goals. Solution-focused techniques are used when clients want short-term planning and concrete steps to move forward.
Choosing an approach is a shared process. He works with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, and adapts over time if something is not helping. That collaborative planning helps keep sessions practical and goal oriented.
