Approaches that guide online sessions
Dr. Erwin commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy when working online. Client-Centered Therapy means the person’s experience guides the work; the therapist follows the client’s priorities and mirrors what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and testing small changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows attention to usable next steps and strengths, helping people try concrete actions and notice what improves.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. He works collaboratively with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That can mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting plans as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit brief updates, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily routines.
