Remote therapy options and methods
Ian offers online sessions that pair practical skills work with reflective therapeutic conversation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and to try concrete behavioral experiments that clarify patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy components are described as a way to learn specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Motivational Interviewing is used when exploring ambivalence and supporting people as they consider change.
These methods are presented in a collaborative manner, with therapist and client working together to set goals and decide which tools to use in a given moment. The approach combines skills training, exploration of personal meaning, and efforts to strengthen everyday coping.
Online appointments are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. The profile indicates work is provided in English and that international clients may be accepted.
