Telehealth approaches and session options
Christopher Merritt offers remote counseling using several evidence-informed approaches. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to help clients clarify what matters to them and practice actions aligned with those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns to improve day-to-day coping. Motivational Interviewing supports exploration of ambivalence and strengthens personal motivation for change.
These approaches are presented in a client-centered manner that emphasizes collaboration. Clients working on anxiety, stress, addictions, self-esteem, or life transitions may find a fit with this blend of strategies, as sessions can combine skills practice, values clarification, and motivational conversation to address specific concerns.
Remote sessions are available by video, by phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging, allowing clients in Florida to choose the format that best matches their needs and schedule.
