How Robin Uses Therapy Methods Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. The therapist follows the client's lead and helps people clarify values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. These methods are often used to address anxiety, depression, addictions, and stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Robin will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then recommend techniques that fit. He adjusts the balance of listening, skill-building, and short-term problem solving as the work progresses.
