How his approaches translate to online work
Keith often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients spot unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and behavior change by breaking problems into steps and practicing new responses.He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and following a person's lead. This approach helps people feel heard and decide their own goals. Mindfulness Therapy is another element he brings in to teach breathing and attention exercises that reduce stress in the moment.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Keith works collaboratively to identify what fits a person's goals and preferences, and he adjusts methods as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time.
