Remote care using practical and reflective methods
Benjamin Tidwell integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is presented in accessible steps to help a person notice and reframe unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the person’s values and pace at the center of sessions, creating space for self-directed exploration. Mindfulness Therapy offers practices for attending to present-moment experience and managing stress and strong emotions.
Those who prefer a balance of practical skill-building and collaborative reflection may find this blend a good fit. Sessions can focus on brief, solution-oriented goals or on longer-term emotional processing depending on what the individual requests. Remote sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different communication preferences and needs.
