Practical, Client-Centered Therapy Online
Allen Gholston, LCSW, draws from approaches that keep therapy grounded, collaborative, and focused on what matters most to the client. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respect, empathy, and a supportive space where clients can explore concerns at their own pace, which can be especially helpful when navigating grief, illness-related stress, anxiety, or major life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and building practical strategies to respond differently. It can be useful for challenges like depression, anxiety, and stress by helping clients practice new ways of thinking and coping in everyday situations. Motivational Interviewing supports change by exploring ambivalence with curiosity rather than pressure, which can be valuable when someone is trying to strengthen follow-through or make shifts around habits and goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Allen works collaboratively with clients to shape a plan that fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting along the way as therapy unfolds.
