How Erick uses therapies online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's perspective. It helps when someone wants a therapist who follows their lead and highlights their strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes skill-building for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help with intense emotions and relationship strain.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Erick works collaboratively to decide which approaches fit a person's goals and preferences. He will discuss what seems most useful and adjust the plan as work progresses.
Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people choose online sessions because they fit into workdays more easily, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time between appointments. Erick frames online work around what helps someone practice new skills in everyday life and make steady steps toward changes they want.
