How Jared Uses Practical Approaches in Online Therapy
Jared commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors that can ease anxiety and low self esteem. CBT focuses on the link between thinking and action and offers simple experiments to try between sessions.
He also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people wrestling with change. This approach helps people clarify their own reasons for change and find small, realistic next steps they feel ready to try.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jared will discuss goals, preferences, and everyday routines to decide which methods to use together. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits the person rather than forcing a single technique.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits your schedule. Talk with Jared about timing, pacing, and whether shorter or longer sessions would work best for your needs.
