Approach-Focused Online Therapy with Practical Options

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more constructive patterns. It is commonly used for stress, anxiety, depression, and problems with mood or coping. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen their own motivation for change - it often supports work on habits, commitment, and readiness for new steps. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying strengths and small, practical steps that move a person toward their goals, making it useful for relationship concerns, problem solving, and coping with life changes.

Mark Forbes works collaboratively with clients to determine which approaches or combination of approaches best fits their needs, goals, and personal preferences. Together they explore what feels most useful and adapt the plan as progress unfolds.
