Therapeutic Approaches and How They Work Online
Garon commonly uses client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) in his work. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping clients explore their own goals and values to build self-understanding and resilience - it is useful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship problems.CBT involves identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and is often applied to anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties through practical exercises and skill-building. DBT combines acceptance and change strategies and offers tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and impulsive behaviour.
Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. Garon works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adapting methods over time so therapy remains aligned with what the client hopes to achieve.
Online therapy with Garon is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access support around work, family, and location constraints. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and allow clients to continue therapy from wherever they are while maintaining regular, consistent contact with a registered professional.
