Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Dr. Green uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to improve coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of relating and emotional bonds that influence current relationships and can be helpful for intimacy, communication, and attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy underlies his collaborative stance by emphasizing empathy, active listening, and the client's own goals as central to progress.

Deciding which approach to use is presented as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and then adapt techniques from these approaches so treatment fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy options include video sessions, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care from Hawaii or from other locations, and they allow for practical, skills-focused work, relationship-focused exploration, and ongoing support without requiring in-person visits.
