Trevor Schabert, LPCC

Online approaches that focus on skill building and presence

Trevor commonly uses client-centered work to keep the session focused on the person's concerns and priorities. That approach means the therapist listens closely, reflects what he hears, and helps the person set goals that feel meaningful to them. It is useful for people who want supportive, nonjudgmental space to talk through identity, relationships, or life stress. He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try experiments to shift behavior and mood. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Trevor will discuss different methods and collaborate on what seems most useful for the client's goals and preferences. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, mixing listening, practical exercises, and motivational coaching. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging can support brief check-ins, real-time problem solving, or ongoing reminders between sessions. These options offer flexibility to match scheduling, comfort, and communication style.
