Therapeutic approaches and online care
Reggie uses client-centered therapy to build a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the person's goals guide the work. This approach focuses on listening closely and responding to what each person says they need.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT gives practical tools for anxiety, depression, and coping with strong emotions.
Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns and themes that developed over time and affect current relationships and choices. It can help people understand recurring struggles and make different decisions going forward.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. Plans are revisited so the approach can shift as progress happens.
Online therapy offers a range of formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversation and face-to-face connection. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text work well for short check-ins, coaching-style support, or when a written record helps track progress. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people fit sessions into busy lives.
