Remote sessions and therapeutic focus
Percy Ford offers remote contact options that include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats are used alongside his clinical approaches so that discussion, skill practice, and planning can take place without in-person meetings. He is licensed in Tennessee and provides services consistent with his documented licensure.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, one of his primary frameworks, is presented in accessible terms as a way to identify and practice different ways of thinking and acting when facing stress, anxiety, or changes in life. Mindfulness Therapy is used to develop present-moment awareness and tools for managing strong emotions. When delivered remotely these approaches can focus on short-term skills, homework, and observable strategies.
Motivational Interviewing and psychodynamic ideas are also part of his approach. Motivational Interviewing supports exploration of readiness for change and internal motivations. Psychodynamic elements invite reflection on past patterns and relational themes. These methods can be combined depending on whether someone prefers structured skill building, reflective exploration, or a mix of both using video, phone, chat, or messaging.
