Online support options
Online approaches that fit real life
Pete often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered methods in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting the thoughts that keep someone stuck and trying different actions to change outcomes; it can help with anxiety, depression, and unwanted habits. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, respect, and the client’s own goals so sessions stay grounded in what matters to the person.Finding the best approach is collaborative. Pete will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide whether to begin with CBT exercises, build motivation through brief coaching, or lean into reflective, client-centered conversations and then adjust as needed.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill practice, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can work for quick check-ins or between-session support. These options make it easier to keep consistent work while juggling school, work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
