How Kent’s Approaches Work Online

CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression and to manage ADHD-related challenges.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches practical skills for noticing difficult thoughts without getting stuck. It pairs values-based goals with small, concrete actions to help people move toward what matters to them.

Attachment-informed work looks at recurring relationship patterns and how early bonds influence current reactions. It can help people change how they relate to partners, coworkers, or family members by recognizing and practicing different responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kent will help clients pick methods that fit their goals and preferences, and adjust strategies as needed. He treats therapy as collaborative and focuses on realistic steps a person can try between sessions.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text can work for short check-ins, homework support, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy lives and varied schedules.
