Approaches and online therapy tailored to individual needs

Charles Elliott draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to support people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and trauma. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, creating space for a person to lead the conversation and explore their values and goals. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. DBT offers practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress when situations feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. He collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy makes those approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow continuity when in-person meetings are difficult, and offer multiple ways to communicate so therapists and clients can find the format that works best for them.
