How CBT and Client-Centered Work Online

Dr. Lasky draws mainly on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods, often mixing in solution-focused steps. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, addictions, and mood issues. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and understanding a person’s perspective so therapy fits their priorities and strengths. Solution-focused techniques concentrate on small, concrete changes and clear short-term goals that can be tracked over time.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their goals, preferences, and life situation. That collaborative process makes it easier to try techniques, adjust strategies, and focus on what is most helpful for the individual.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for fuller conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions work well when less bandwidth is available or for a shorter check-in. Live chat or text messaging can fit busy schedules, let people check in between sessions, and support ongoing progress. These options are designed to offer flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy consistent with everyday life.
