Practical Approaches for Real-Life Change Online
John Catron draws from several evidence-informed approaches that translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns and practicing new ways to respond, which can be especially useful when working through addiction-related urges, relationship stress, or difficult life changes.Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, nonjudgmental style that helps clients clarify what matters most and strengthen commitment to change. It can be a good fit for people who feel stuck, uncertain, or pulled in two directions about the next step.
Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment, helping clients relate differently to cravings, grief, and intense emotions by building steadier awareness and coping skills over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. John works with clients to understand goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before, then tailors sessions so therapy feels practical and personally relevant.
Online therapy also makes it easier to get consistent support in a format that fits daily life. Sessions can take place through video calls or phone sessions, and clients can also use live chat or text-based messaging for added flexibility and accessibility.
