Therapeutic approaches and online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to improve daily functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values, increase psychological flexibility, and learn acceptance-based strategies for coping with difficult thoughts and feelings. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, genuine listening, and a collaborative relationship so clients feel supported while exploring personal goals and growth.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Henry aims to collaborate with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may combine elements of different approaches as the relationship and treatment progress.

Online therapy with Henry is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and lifestyles. These options can make it easier to maintain consistent care while balancing work, family, or geographic constraints, and allow clients to engage in therapy in ways that feel most accessible and workable for them.
