Remote therapy options and approach
James offers remote sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different communication preferences. These formats are used to maintain an ongoing therapeutic connection while addressing family dynamics, grief, self esteem, stress, anxiety, and life transitions.He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking and try small, practical changes in daily habits. Trauma-Focused CBT is applied when working through traumatic experiences with attention to safety and gradual processing. Interpersonal Psychotherapy focuses on patterns in relationships and on navigating role transitions and grief.
