Approaches that guide online sessions
Terrance commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing as foundations for his online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. Motivational Interviewing helps people find and strengthen their own reasons for change through guided conversation and goal-setting.Finding the right approach is a team effort. He will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. The process emphasizes collaboration so techniques match the client’s needs and pace.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide flexibility for brief updates, reflections between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options let people connect from different places and keep therapy consistent with daily routines.
