How CBT and Client-Centered Care Fit Online

Dr. Hogan blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered listening with motivational interviewing to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and build practical coping skills. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and routines that keep problems going and testing simple new behaviors. Client-centered work emphasizes being heard and understood while the person sets the pace and goals. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to make changes and increase commitment.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. He works collaboratively to try methods that match a person's goals, needs, and preferences. Together they review what works, adjust strategies, and set small steps to practice between sessions.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different days and needs. Video is useful for longer sessions and skill work, phone calls can fit a work break or low-bandwidth situations, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people share updates or questions in between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent when schedules or locations change.
