Addis integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into his online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment, helping clients explore their values and strengths while the therapist provides empathic support - this approach is useful for building self-understanding and confidence. CBT is a structured method that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it effective for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related concerns.
