Therapeutic approaches for online healing and growth

Adam “Brent” Stamey uses evidence-informed methods adapted to online care. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more effective patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management and focuses on practical skills that can be practiced between sessions.

Trauma-Focused Therapy provides a structured way to address the effects of trauma and abuse, helping individuals process painful memories and learn coping strategies to reduce symptoms and reclaim daily functioning. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes clear, attainable goals and small steps toward change, making it useful for relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and situations where quick, practical progress is a priority.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Brent works with clients and other licensed professionals to determine which methods align best with a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility and accessibility, allowing people to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care across locations.
