Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Rev. Gary Greene integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy into his online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals and values guide the work - it is helpful for issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with trauma.

He also draws from narrative techniques when helpful, inviting clients to explore and reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. Selecting the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; he works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, different comfort levels with technology, and geographic distance. These options help make consistent care more accessible while allowing therapists and clients to focus on practical strategies and emotional support.
