How Roger’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Roger regularly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and take small meaningful actions. ACT often helps when worry, avoidance, or low motivation get in the way of living the life someone wants.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with practical skills and experiments. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating difficulties where behavior change can improve day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Roger aims to figure out collaboratively which methods match a person's goals and preferences. He will adjust techniques over time based on what helps most for a client's concerns and daily routines.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session options before booking, since formats are shown during the matching and scheduling steps. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let clients try exercises or skills in their normal environment and bring that experience back into sessions for discussion and refinement.
