James Cline structures online sessions around Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques. REBT is presented in straightforward terms as a way to examine and challenge rigid or unhelpful beliefs, while cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying thought patterns and testing alternatives in daily life. Together these approaches aim to clarify thinking and support practical steps toward the concerns a person brings to therapy.Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on helping people understand links between thinking, feeling, and behaving. This work can address stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma-related concerns, depression, addictions, and other areas listed among his specialties and additional focuses.
