Approaches and online support for meaningful change
Christopher Reed integrates several established therapeutic approaches into his work, tailoring them to each person’s needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the pace and goals of therapy; this approach can help with low self-esteem, life changes, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and offers practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address unhelpful patterns. He also uses EMDR, a structured approach to working with traumatic memories that can reduce the intensity of distress linked to past events.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christopher works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring, and he adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable, while still working with registered professionals and skilled therapists to pursue meaningful change.
