How his approaches translate to online therapy
Steven uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach often includes exercises and structured practice that translate well to remote sessions. Mindfulness Therapy is about learning simple attention and breathing skills to reduce stress and improve sleep or anxiety, and those practices can be taught and practiced during an online meeting. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing past hurt and building safety and coping skills, using guided discussion and pacing that respect each person's readiness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose strategies that match their goals, symptoms, and daily life. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made.
