Online therapy grounded in practical, flexible approaches
Richard Gantt, LPCC, uses an eclectic style, drawing from proven approaches to match what is most helpful for each client. In a client-centered framework, sessions focus on building a supportive space where clients can clarify what matters most, strengthen self-direction, and take meaningful steps toward change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is often used to connect thoughts, emotions, and actions. It can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by helping clients recognize patterns that keep them stuck and practice more workable ways of responding. Motivational Interviewing may also be incorporated to help clients explore ambivalence and build momentum, particularly when working on behavior change related to habits, substance use concerns, or personal goals.
Because people and situations differ, finding the right approach is part of the process. Richard collaborates with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before, then adjusts the therapy style accordingly over time.
Online therapy makes it easier to stay consistent with care while balancing work, school, family, or transportation limits. Sessions can take place through video calls or phone sessions, with additional support available through live chat or text-based messaging for added flexibility between appointments.
