Approach and online options that fit your life
Prof. Anzalone often uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the person's lead, listen deeply, and create a safe space for talking through concerns. This approach focuses on understanding each person's experience and building on their strengths.She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings. CBT offers concrete steps to change patterns that worsen anxiety, depression, or panic attacks and can be helpful for sleep, eating, and anger issues.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to goals, needs, and personal preferences, and adjust as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let for face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a quick check-in fits the day. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share updates between sessions or use shorter prompts when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, school, caregiving, or other busy schedules.
