Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well Online
Gary Bray draws from approaches that can be effective in online therapy and adaptable to different goals. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client sets the pace. It can be especially helpful for building self-esteem, strengthening confidence, and feeling more grounded during major life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-oriented approach that looks at how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another. It can help clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice new ways of responding, which many people find useful when working through depression, addictive behaviors, or day-to-day stressors.
Existential Therapy explores meaning, values, and personal responsibility, supporting clients who want to feel more aligned with what matters to them, especially during transitions or seasons of uncertainty.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Gary collaborates with clients to shape the work around their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as therapy unfolds.
Online therapy adds flexibility by offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This variety can make it easier to stay consistent, fit sessions into a busy schedule, and get support in the format that feels most comfortable.
