Practical therapy approaches, designed for online support
David Drake draws on approaches that help clients make sense of what they are experiencing and take workable steps forward. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, supportive relationship where clients can explore emotions and goals at their own pace, which can be especially helpful when feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. It often helps clients build coping skills for stress, anxiety, low mood, and patterns that feel hard to change by practicing new ways of responding in everyday situations.
Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes learning to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. This can support steadier emotional regulation and a clearer sense of choice when dealing with cravings, grief, or anxious spirals.
Finding the right fit is part of the process. David works collaboratively, helping clients clarify needs, preferences, and goals so the approach can be tailored over time rather than forced into a single template.
Online therapy makes it possible to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexible options that can fit different schedules, comfort levels, and day-to-day demands.
