Approaches for online work and practical change
Lawrence commonly combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding each person’s goals, and shaping sessions around what matters most to them. This approach helps people feel heard and guides the direction of treatment.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT is useful for sleep difficulties, anxiety, low mood, and managing day-to-day stress with concrete techniques. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with relationships, anger, and impulse-driven behaviors.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan over time based on what is helpful.
Confirm the current online session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports continuity of care when schedules change, while the therapist and client decide together what session rhythm best supports progress.
