Practical, Personalized Therapy Online
Percy Ford, LPC, draws from several established therapy approaches to support concerns like stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and major life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It helps clients identify unhelpful patterns and practice new skills for responding to triggers, stress, and everyday challenges in more workable ways.
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences and long-standing emotional patterns can influence current relationships, choices, and coping. It can be especially helpful for clients who want deeper insight into what is driving repeated struggles and how to create lasting change.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes what is already working and builds clear, realistic next steps. This approach can be a good fit when someone wants practical goals, faster momentum, and strengths-based support during stressful seasons.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Percy works collaboratively with clients to understand needs, goals, and preferences, then tailors the work to support steady progress over time.
Online therapy also makes it easier to get consistent support. Sessions can happen through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and access from wherever a client is located.
