Online support

Existential and CBT approaches in online sessions

Bradley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, social phobia, and practical coping skills that can improve daily life. Existential therapy is also part of his work and focuses on questions about meaning, values, and life direction when people feel stuck or isolated.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. He talks with each person about goals and preferences, and then they decide together what to try first. That collaborative planning helps match tools and deeper inquiry to whatever the client most needs in that moment.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful when a fuller conversation is needed, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can fit short check-ins, quick problem-solving, or support between sessions. These options make it easier to work therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
