How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Richard commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral approaches to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test them against everyday evidence. This method breaks down moments of anger into thoughts, feelings, and actions so a person can try new responses and reduce impulsive reactions.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment ideas that focus on noticing difficult emotions without getting driven by them, then choosing actions that reflect personal values. That approach is often useful for ongoing frustration, resentment, and the stress of caregiving or chronic illness.
Finding the right fit is part of the work. He will talk with the client about which methods feel practical and useful, and adapt the plan together based on needs, goals, and how each technique lands in real life.
