Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well Online
David Bradshaw draws from evidence-informed approaches that can work well in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then practicing practical strategies to respond differently. It is often used when someone wants help with stress, anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful habits.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients in making room for difficult thoughts and emotions while also reconnecting with personal values. Rather than getting stuck in a fight with what shows up internally, ACT encourages skills that help people move toward the life they want, even during challenging seasons.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative style that helps strengthen motivation for change. It can be especially useful when someone feels torn, uncertain, or stuck and wants support clarifying goals and next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. David works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and to adjust along the way.
Online therapy adds flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access support from home, while traveling, or around a busy schedule.
