Approaches used in online sessions
William commonly uses client-centered therapy to focus on the person’s own perspective and values. This approach involves listening carefully and helping clients name what matters most, which can help when anger ties to life purpose or identity.He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and test alternative responses. CBT provides concrete exercises for noticing triggers, slowing reactions, and trying different behaviors in stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean emphasizing skills practice, values work, or short-term problem solving depending on what the client wants.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, save travel time, or have a shorter check-in during a work break. Phone sessions can be useful when video is not practical, and video sessions allow for visual cues and exercises that benefit from seeing one another.
