He works with each person to customize a plan that fits their current situation and goals.
Practical approaches for online change
Ronald commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and depression going. It works well for anxiety, mood concerns, and workplace stress. Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person’s own reasons for change and builds motivation to address addictive behaviors or stubborn habits.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Ronald will talk with each person about their goals, try an approach, and adjust as needed. He aims to find methods that fit the person's needs and daily life rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low. Live chat and messaging let people check in between meetings or fit a brief session into a busy day. These formats make it simpler to keep therapy consistent when schedules are tight or travel is difficult.
