Online support

Approaches that translate to online work

Kent uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts, which often reduces anxiety and low mood through practical exercises. He also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and encourage committed action, useful when someone wants to move toward meaningful goals despite difficult feelings. Attachment-based ideas guide how he listens and responds, helping people explore relationship patterns and feel understood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kent will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities. He adjusts pace and techniques as clients try things and give feedback, so therapy evolves to match what helps most.

Online formats offer flexibility and simpler logistics. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and skill practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and text messaging is useful for ongoing support or quick reflections. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while keeping a steady therapeutic connection.
