Therapeutic approaches and working online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people feel understood. It’s useful for building trust and exploring identity, values, and self esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and uses specific techniques to change patterns that cause distress. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and anger. Existential Therapy helps people examine meaning, choice, and responsibility in their lives and can be helpful when facing big life changes or questions about purpose.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Vernon will collaborate with each person to find which methods fit their needs and goals. He aims to balance clear feedback with supportive listening and will adjust plans based on what helps between sessions.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try different session rhythms and techniques and then compare what feels most helpful in everyday life.
