Online support options
How Dwayne’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects what he hears, and helps people find their own solutions to stress, relationships, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. Sessions use practical exercises and tools to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping skills.
Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment through simple awareness practices. That can reduce reactivity, support emotion regulation, and help people manage stress and cravings.
Finding the best mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Adjustments are made along the way based on what is working.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins or support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
