How his approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on naming and working with emotions that drive relationship and attachment patterns. It helps people understand how emotions shape interactions and responses to stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding the person’s perspective while building a collaborative relationship that supports change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Colby will talk with each person about their needs and goals and decide together which methods to use. That collaborative process helps match techniques to what the client wants to change and how they prefer to work.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and let people attend from quieter surroundings. They also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or for choosing phone over video when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, skills practice, and reflective conversation to the format that best fits a client’s routine.
