Therapeutic approaches and online support
Gary offers approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy, explained in plain terms and suited to online delivery. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed action - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and building a trusting therapeutic relationship so clients feel heard and supported as they explore identity, self-worth and relationship challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Gary collaborates with each client to identify methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. He adapts interventions over time so the work remains relevant and practical for the individual.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - make it easier for people to access consistent support around work, caregiving or mobility constraints. These flexible formats allow registered professionals like Gary to offer regular contact, timely check-ins and a therapeutic space that fits into busy lives while focusing on progress and practical coping strategies.
