Remote therapy methods and approach



Clifford offers online options that allow clients to connect by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats are used to continue regular treatment and to adapt to client preferences for communication during the course of work together.

He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in a way that focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior amenable to practical skills and short-term problem solving. Client-Centered Therapy appears alongside CBT as a way to center the client’s priorities, pace, and goals, giving the person an active role in determining what matters most in sessions. Narrative Therapy is applied to help examine and reframe personal stories and to explore how those stories influence current choices and relationships.

Clients and therapist collaborate on which methods to emphasize, tailoring the mix of skill-building, reflective conversation, and story work. The remote formats listed support ongoing communication and homework between sessions when that aligns with the agreed plan.
